Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Chronic pain remains one of the most complex and debilitating conditions in medicine, affecting millions worldwide. Despite advances in pharmacological and interventional therapies, the heterogeneity of pain disorders poses a significant challenge for effective treatment. In recent years, the emergence of personalized pain medicine—driven by biomarkers, omics technologies, and artificial intelligence—has opened new avenues for precision diagnosis and tailored interventions.
This Special Issue aims at exploring the role of biomarkers in pain medicine and their potential to transform patient management. By integrating molecular, neurophysiological, and imaging biomarkers, clinicians and researchers can move beyond the traditional trial-and-error approach, improving both efficacy and safety in pain treatment.
We welcome contributions on cutting-edge research covering topics such as novel biomarkers for pain phenotyping, genetic and epigenetic insights, neuroimaging advances, and AI-driven predictive models. Additionally, studies on the clinical application of biomarkers in personalized interventions, pharmacogenomics, and non-invasive monitoring are of particular interest.
We invite original research articles, systematic reviews, and translational studies that bridge the gap between basic science and clinical practice, helping to shape the future of precision pain medicine.
Dr. Gustavo Fabregat-Cid
