Advancing Palliative Care, Hospice, and Symptom ResearchOfficial Journal of the American Academy of Hospice and Palliative Medicine and the National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization The Journal of Pain and Symptom Management is an internationally respected, peer-reviewed journal and serves an interdisciplinary audience of professionals by providing a forum for the publication of the latest clinical research and best practices related to the relief of illness burden among patients afflicted with serious or life-threatening illness.The Journal has strongly supported both quantitative and qualitative research underpinning the evolving discipline of palliative care, including clinical trials of pain or symptom control therapies, epidemiology of phenomena related to life-threatening disease and end-of-life care, instrument development to enhance clinical assessment and facilitate investigation, and health services studies evaluating the outcomes of diverse therapeutic models. It also offers extensive coverage of clinical practice issues, publishing both systematic and narrative reviews, case series and case reports, and both special articles and columns that present important updates on topics as varied as the international diversity of palliative medicine, the economics of palliative care, and bioethics in end-of-life care.
Neuromodulation: Technology at the Neural Interface is the preeminent journal in the area of neuromodulation, providing our readership with state of the art clinical, translational, and basic science research in the field. For clinicians, engineers, scientists, and members of the medical device industry alike, Neuromodulation provides timely and rigorously peer-reviewed articles on the technology, science, and clinical application of devices that interface with the nervous system to treat disease, alleviate symptoms, and improve function. Representing the needs of the broad neuromodulation community, the journal serves as an instrument for exchanging high-quality data, advancing science, and as a forum for debate and commentary. Neuromodulation covers an ever-expanding field including pain, headache, movement disorders, spasticity, paralysis, psychiatric and cognitive disorders, epilepsy, sensory deprivation, cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, and genitourinary disorders among others. As the official journal of the International Neuromodulation Society (INS), it represents the international practice of neuromodulation, a growing, diverse multidisciplinary field responsible for the development and application of both invasive and non-invasive devices and techniques to benefit individuals by normalizing or augmenting function and reducing the impact of disease. In-depth reviews, original articles, national and international meeting abstracts, special focus editions, and web-based and social media educational offerings help the reader to expand their knowledge and understanding of the interface between electrical stimulation, chemical neuromodulation and the nervous system. Our updates on past and future news of events and activities of the INS and its membership keep the reader abreast of issues related to professional education and development in this dynamic field.
