Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
These are very exciting times to promote research with topics covering pain and its treatment: experiencing pain, both acute and chronic, is now extremely common in veterinary patients. While important and successful efforts have been made to improve current pain therapies, important challenges associated with pain assessment and treatment exist and their implementation is required, by revisiting existing and proposing novel approaches. For example, pain treatments are not available for a large number of veterinary patients, and optimal pain management (e.g., multidisciplinary) is relatively rare. Changing the approach to pain assessment and treatment is required in order to improve pain care in terms of efficiency, effectiveness, and safety.
In this Special Issue, we invite original research and reviews in the field of both acute and chronic pain, in order to increase the quality of life of animals affected by different painful conditions.

Guest Editor
