About Practical Pain Management

Practical Pain Management: The Most-read Pain Publication

Practical Pain Management is the most prominent pain journal for practicing pain specialists, but it’s also read by PCPs, rheumatologists, pediatricians, and emergency medicine specialists—in short, clinicians on the front lines of pain.

Practical Pain Management was founded in 2000 and is written by pain experts and leaders in the field. It has a circulation of more than 46,000.

From arthritis to migraine, multiple sclerosis to fibromyalgia, Practical Pain Management provides real-world clinical insights. Pain is complex and can be challenging to treat safely and effectively. Practical Pain Management helps clinicians navigate the latest research in pain to bring these benefits to their patients.
