Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The Special Issue will collect original research articles, reviews, systematic reviews, and meta-analyses on physiological and therapeutic aspects of pain. Papers on innovative aspects and on the various types of pain, i.e., nociceptive, neuropathic, and nociplastic, are welcome. We would like to give particular emphasis to therapies with critical insights on opioids, NSAIDs, and supportive therapies. Finally, nutraceutical remedies of pain are welcome.
