疼痛醫學是一門新興的多學科雜志，致力于疼痛臨床醫生、教師和研究人員。《疼痛醫學》也是美國疼痛醫學學會(American Academy of Pain Medicine)最新的官方期刊，該醫學組織致力于推進疼痛管理、教育和研究。多年來一直贊助和編輯《臨床疼痛雜志》的該學會決定，要建立自己的期刊，以反映其成員數量的快速增長，以及在疼痛研究和疼痛管理方面需要高質量的出版物。

Pain Medicine is a new multi-disciplinary journal dedicated to the pain clinician, teacher and researcher. Pain Medicine is also the new official journal of the American Academy of Pain Medicine, the medical organization devoted to the advancement of pain management, education and research. The academy, which previously sponsored and edited the Clinical Journal of Pain for many years, decided that it wanted to develop its own journal to reflect the rapid growth in its membership and the need for quality publication in pain research and pain management.
