Acute Pain (AP)

Acute Pain: International Journal of Acute Pain Management was a specialised peer-reviewed medical journal published by Elsevier from 1997 until about 2009. It focused exclusively on acute pain conditions and their clinical management, serving anesthesiologists, pain specialists, surgeons, emergency physicians and allied health professionals. Its scope spanned the clinical presentation and mechanisms of acute pain, innovative pain assessment methods, pharmacologic and non-pharmacologic analgesic strategies, organisational aspects of acute pain services, safety and efficacy of interventions, and multidisciplinary treatment approaches. Articles included clinical research studies, case reports, reviews, and expert commentary aimed at improving both understanding and management of acute pain in diverse settings, including postoperative care, trauma, and acute disease episodes. The journal provided a platform for international exchange of evidence-based practices and emerging therapeutic techniques during a period when acute pain services were expanding globally. Although Acute Pain ceased publication around 2009, its archived volumes remain a resource for historical clinical insights into acute pain care and early evidence that influenced contemporary pain management practices. Indexed in databases such as Scopus during its run, the journal contributed to evolving standards in acute pain research and clinical protocols.
