Abstract :
There are many references in ancient Iranian literature on anesthesia, analgesia and pain. Various cultural changes have occurred due to political, cultural and civil factors, one key example being the bilateral interactions between Iranian culture and other cultures with regards to many issues, involving medicine and medical sciences, a process that has been part of the dialogue between civilizations. Some aspects of ancient Iranian culture have been cited in Iranian literature, often involving Iranian physicians. Iranian scientists of earlier times possessed a great wealth of knowledge in the fields of medicine, philosophy, literature, astrology, etc. and they recorded their experiences for posterity. Ancient Iranian culture cites the writings of many famous and great scientists and poets. Two main cultural eras are defined in Iranian culture: pre-Islamic and Islamic.
