Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Post-traumatic pain in sport is a relatively rare subject of research and publication. Duration, causes, assessment methods, diagnosis, and treatment are often related to the root causes of pain. However, the specificity of pain after sports injuries is unique and different from chronic pain; therefore, it seems that the issue requires attention. The treatment of acute post-traumatic pain in athletes plays a key role for those who train competitively and compete at the highest performance levels. Although the management of sports medicine practice relies on traditional and proven practices, there are gaps in the scientific evidence regarding the treatment of post-traumatic pain from sports injuries. There is a need for high-quality research to determine the most appropriate and optimal treatments for post-traumatic sports pain, including anti-doping regulations. Conservative and surgical management is one of the management methods, and all aspects should be considered to optimize treatment and minimize the time to return to sport. Therefore, this Special Issue aims to gather the current evidence on pain management in acute injuries in athletes, providing the most informed pain relief and recovery strategies. Papers submitted to this Special Issue may cover all aspects of acute pain in athletes after sports injuries.
