Alpha Oscillations and Conditioned Pain Modulation Is Associated With Treatment Resistance to Spinal Cord Stimulation for Neuropathic Pain Background Neuropathic pain (NP) is a severe form of chronic pain associated with reduced quality of life. Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) can provide pain relief for some but not all treated, highlig...

We're extremely proud to announce #PAIN's 2025 supplemental issue: Advancing Pain Research and Management for the Next 50 Years. The entire issue is free to read on our website! bit.ly/3IQ6hOq

A special thanks to all the authors who contributed to this special issue, the leadership and vision of our Editor-in-Chief @karenddavis.bsky.social and all the scientists and clinicians who are paving the way to a brighter future for pain relief and management! bit.ly/3IQ6hOq

October’s #PAIN cover art is from Isler et al.’s new study. They find that spinal microglia become reactive and trigger hypersensitivity in response to combined optogenetic activation of nociceptive and nonnociceptive fibers. Learn more in #PAIN bit.ly/4nssUHO

FDA may pull authorization of Pfizer's Covid vaccine for children under 5, company says The potential move to rescind authorization of Pfizer's vaccine could leave some kids in the U.S. with no available shots against Covid.

It would add to a string of recent efforts by U.S. health agencies to change and undermine immunization policy since Secretary Kennedy, a prominent vaccine skeptic, took the helm.
