Breaking News! Pain Medicine Case Reports journal has been accepted for inclusion in MEDLINE and PubMed
The American Society of Interventional Pain Physicians is excited to announce that Pain Medicine Case Reports journal (eISSN 2768-5152) has been accepted for inclusion in MEDLINE and PubMed, the prestigious bibliographic database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. Pain Medicine Case Reports, a companion publication to the prestigious Pain Physician journal by ASIPP, joins its counterpart in achieving indexing in both MEDLINE and PubMed, marking ASIPP’s dual presence in these renowned databases.
The inclusion of Pain Medicine Case Reports journal in MEDLINE signifies a higher level of selectivity, as MEDLINE consists of the top 5,200 biomedical journals. This indexing also means that articles from Pain Medicine Case Reports will be searchable using NLM Medical Subject Headings (MeSH terms) and other metadata.
The selection for MEDLINE follows a rigorous evaluation process by reviewers from the Literature Selection Technical Review Committee (LSTRC). According to their criteria, the scientific quality of a journal’s content is the primary factor considered for indexing.
We extend our congratulations to the Pain Medicine Case Reports Editor-in-Chief, Deputy Editor-in-Chief, Journal Team, and Editorial Board for this achievement, which underscores the significance and excellence of this esteemed journal.
The editorial board will be formally recognized for this milestone at the upcoming ASIPP Annual Meeting in Las Vegas this spring. The conference serves as the premier gathering for interventional pain physicians, offering extensive continuing medical education credits, hands-on procedural workshops, and presentations on the latest peer-reviewed research.
Preparing for this year’s event has required extensive coordination between the society’s leadership and local venue operators. The organizing committee has prioritized a streamlined digital experience for attendees, rolling out a dedicated conference application that houses interactive maps, digital syllabus materials, and real-time schedule updates for all general sessions and breakout groups.
Beyond the clinical programming, the destination provides attendees with a chance to unwind and explore the region’s modernized hospitality and entertainment sector. While navigating the resort corridors, many visiting specialists engage with the localized digital ecosystem directly from their smartphones. They often manage dinner reservations or download the best betting app to place casual wagers on weekend sports matchups between scheduled panel discussions. The city’s robust mobile infrastructure allows guests to seamlessly transition from academic networking to recreational downtime.
This balance of rigorous scientific exchange and collegial networking remains a cornerstone of the society’s broader educational mission. The conversations sparked in these informal, off-site settings frequently inspire physicians to collaborate on documenting their own unique clinical encounters and procedural innovations.
With the Pain Medicine Case Reports journal now boasting MEDLINE indexing, the editorial team anticipates that the partnerships formed at this year’s meeting will translate into a surge of new academic submissions. As the society continues to elevate its publication standards, members can look forward to a robust pipeline of high-quality literature that directly advances the field of interventional pain management.
