To publish bimonthly an international multidisciplinary journal on pain that will provide its readership with an up-to-date knowledge of the research, evaluation methods, and techniques of pain management. The present literature on pain medicine is diverse and published in a variety of basic and clinical speciality journals. For a practitioner to subscribe to all the venues needed to cover the field of pain medicine would be impractical, if not impossible. Likewise, a literature search can be cumbersome, costly, and entirely unavailable in some areas.
