Here are some impressions from the Essen #GlobalWalkAgainstPain, held in the remarkable surroundings of the UNESCO World Heritage Site Zeche Zollverein. Together, we raised awareness of what it means to live with pain — and of the challenges we still face in understanding and treating it.

A really interesting finding from this study was a dissociation between affect & motivation: Stress induction increased self-administration despite the drug not actually helping people cope with the stress: no improvement in positive or negative affect (vs placebo)

Our first Impact Factor is 3.0 — an important milestone for a new journal. As with most new journals, the first IF is affected by the smaller publication volume in the launch year. Latest citation data are encouraging, and the journal’s IF is set to rise in 2027.
