At some point in life, virtually everyone experiences some type of pain. Pain is often classified as acute or chronic. Acute pain, such as postoperative pain, subsides as healing takes place. Chronic pain is persistent and is subdivided into cancer-related pain and nonmalignant pain, such as arthritis, low-back pain, and peripheral neuropathy.

Pain medicine, also called Pain management or algiatry, is a branch of medicine employing an interdisciplinary approach for easing the suffering and improving the quality of life of those living with pain. Some conditions may have pain and associated symptoms arising from a discrete cause, such as postoperative pain or pain associated with a malignancy, or may be conditions in which pain constitutes the primary problem, such as neuropathic pains or headaches.

Peertechz’s Open Journal of Pain Medicine is a multi-disciplinary, online platform for the researchers and doctors to publish their valuable manuscripts devoted to the advancement of pain management practice, education, research and policy.

Why Open Journal of Pain Medicine?

A study conducted by National Health Interview Survey (NHIS), reported that nearly 40 million adults, world-wide experience severe or very severe levels of pain. These individuals were likely to have worse health status, to use more health care, and to suffer from more disability than those with less severe pain. The experience of pain is subjective. The data show varied responses to pain even in those with similar levels of pain. Continuing analyses of these data may help identify subpopulations that would benefit from additional pain treatment options.

Peertechz realizes the fact that the number of people who suffer from severe and lasting pain is striking, hence our Open Journal of Pain Medicine emerged as a valuable new scope to publish manuscripts that help shape future research, development, and targeting of effective pain interventions, including complementary health approaches.

The Peertechz’s Open Journal of Pain Medicine is a broad-based approach to help Pain Medicine Specialists treat all pain disorders, ranging from pain as a symptom of disease to pain as the primary disease. The manuscripts published in Open Journal of Pain Medicine seek to serves as a standard for pain physicians to provide quality care to the patient suffering from pain.
