International Journal of Pain Management
Pain is studied from more than one direction at once. This journal follows it from the tissue and circuits that produce it, through the instruments that measure it and the treatments that address it, to the function and experience that follow.
From mechanism to recovery
The articles below sit at different points on that line, and the journal reads each against what its own design can support.

Submitting to this journal
A manuscript is in scope when it makes a substantive contribution to pain or its management — preclinical, theoretical, methodological, review, clinical or lived-experience work alike — rather than using pain as an incidental variable.
Whether the evidence presented supports the claims made is a separate judgment, reached in review.
All submissions undergo initial editorial screening. Manuscripts that meet the journal’s scope and minimum requirements proceed to independent peer review.
Single-blind by default; double-blind review is available on request.
Manuscripts that proceed to external peer review are normally evaluated by at least two independent subject-matter experts.
Editorial decisions are based on scope, scientific quality, methodological rigor, ethical compliance, reporting quality, and relevance to the journal.
Editorial decisions are independent of fees, services, memberships and roles.
