Anesthesia & Pain Research

Aims and Scope

Anesthesia & Pain Research is an international, peer-reviewed journal dedicated to advancing the field of anesthesia and pain management. Our mission is to publish high-quality research that enhances the understanding, diagnosis, and treatment of pain, and improves anesthesia practices. We aim to be a comprehensive resource for clinicians, researchers, and healthcare professionals involved in the management of pain and anesthesia.

Scope

The journal welcomes original research articles, review articles, case reports, clinical trials, and technical reports. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

• Anesthesia Techniques and Management: Innovative approaches, comparative studies, and advancements in general, regional, and local anesthesia.
• Pain Mechanisms: Research on the physiological, biochemical, and psychological aspects of acute and chronic pain.
• Pain Assessment and Measurement: Development and validation of pain assessment tools, patient-reported outcomes, and pain-related biomarkers.
• Pain Treatment and Management: Pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions, multimodal pain management strategies, and pain management in special populations (e.g., pediatrics, geriatrics, oncology).
• Perioperative Medicine: Studies on preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative care aimed at optimizing patient outcomes.
• Innovative Technologies: Exploration of new devices, monitoring systems, and techniques in anesthesia and pain management.
• Education and Training: Insights into educational methodologies, training programs, and competency assessments for anesthesia and pain management professionals.
• Health Policy and Ethics: Discussions on policy, regulation, ethical considerations, and the socio-economic aspects of pain management and anesthesia practice.
• Translational Research: Bridging the gap between laboratory findings and clinical applications to improve patient care.

Anesthesia & Pain Research is committed to providing a platform for the dissemination of significant research findings and to fostering an environment of scholarly exchange. We encourage submissions from all areas of the globe and strive to reflect the diverse practices and challenges of anesthesia and pain management worldwide.
