Pain Physician (PPJ), the official publication of the
American Society of Interventional Pain Physicians
(ASIPP®), is published 6 times per year. The print
versions are published in January/February, March/
April, May/June, July/August, September/October,
and November/December. The printed PPJ articles
are posted online. Each issue of the journal has
online content as well. In addition, Pain Physician
publishes special topical issues periodically.
Pain Physician is a peer-reviewed, multi-disciplinary
journal written by and directed to an audience of
interventional pain physicians, clinicians, and basic
scientists with an interest in interventional pain
management and pain medicine.
Pain Physician presents the latest studies, research,
and information vital to those in the emerging
specialty of interventional pain management — and
critical to the patients they treat.
Pain Physician was first published in 1999 to create a forum
for scientific and clinical developments in interventional
pain management and to take an active role in promoting
regulatory changes, compliance, and practice management in an increasingly complex health
care environment. The journal has been selected for listing on the Thomson Scientific’s ISI Web
of Knowledge. In addition, Pain Physician is listed in Excerpta Medica, EMBASE, Index Medicus,
Medline, and PubMed.
The growth and success of Pain Physician reflects the outstanding work of a large number of
physicians and scientists dedicated to the advancement of interventional pain management.
Today, interventional pain management is a recognized medical specialty with its own identity and
representation at state and national levels. Physicians practicing interventional pain management
are referred to as interventional pain physicians regardless of their primary medical specialty
(e.g., pain management anesthesiologist, pain management neurologist, pain management
physiatrist, etc.). This spirit of unity among the various component specialties has helped foster an
environment conducive to the promotion of scientific and clinical innovations.
