Technical Corners

The Technical Corner was a regular feature of the IASP Newsletter with the goal of presenting timely topics in pain research and treatment. Because of demand and because back issues of the articles are out of print, they are presented in full on the IASP website. The Technical Corners were discontinued as part of the IASP Newsletter after issue 3-2000,  but more recent articles are now to be found in the Pain: Clincial Updates publication.

Below is a list of articles published since 1996. These can be printed directly off the website for personal use. If articles are reproduced for distribution to students, meeting delegates, etc., please contact IASP for permission to use the materials.
