Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Pain is a complex experience, influenced by biological, psychological, and social factors. It is necessary to implement the awareness and personalization of pain evaluations and treatments to maximize the effectiveness of treatments and improve people's quality of life.
This includes the involvement of physicians belonging to different fields, psychologists, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, and nurses.
The personalization of care represents a promising paradigm, by providing assessments and therapies tailored to each person's needs, thus leading to more effective and long-lasting results.
As for medical sciences, the focus is on pain related to musculoskeletal, neurological, and oncological diseases, across multiple disciplines. Regarding psychological sciences, the emphasis is given to cognitive-behavioral therapy, also including acceptance and commitment therapy, and pain management education. They are all expected to promote overall well-being.
Studies on the topic in the form of original research and reviews from scholars are welcomed.
