Advance evidence. Share discoveries. Strengthen Pain Medicine.
The American Academy of Pain Medicine supports academic and community clinicians, clinical researchers, and health scientists working to expand the evidence base for pain care. Explore opportunities to present and publish your work, engage with the AAPM research community, request research survey distribution, and access trusted research tools.
Share your work with the multidisciplinary pain medicine community, contribute to the scientific conversation, and connect with colleagues advancing the field.
PainConnect provides opportunities for researchers, clinicians, trainees, and innovators to share original research and emerging ideas with the pain medicine community through scientific posters, presentations, and other research-focused programming.
Pain Medicine, the official journal of AAPM, publishes original clinical and translational research, scientific reviews, and scholarship addressing the science, practice, and future of pain medicine.
AAPM members receive online journal access through their member dashboard.
AAPM's Research Committee identifies opportunities to support research initiatives, strengthen the scientific quality of PainConnect submissions, understand member research needs, and collaborate on scientific programs across the pain community.
Researchers and organizations may request that AAPM distribute an approved electronic research survey to Academy members. AAPM reviews requests according to its Research Distribution Policy and applicable requirements.
AAPM does not provide member email addresses to researchers or third parties. Distribution of a survey by AAPM does not constitute Academy endorsement of the research project, survey, product, service, or resulting findings.
