Official Journal: Journal on Musculoskeletal Ultrasound and Pain Medicine

Journal on Musculoskeletal Ultrasound and Pain Medicine (JMUPM) is an official peer-reviewed academic journal published by Wolters Kluwer under the Medknow imprint. It serves as a scholarly platform dedicated to the intersection of musculoskeletal ultrasound and pain medicine research, education, and clinical practice.

Scope & Focus

The journal emphasizes clinical science, evidence-based research, and practice-oriented content on:

  • Innovative diagnostic and interventional applications of musculoskeletal ultrasound in pain management.
  • Original research articles, clinical case series, systematic reviews, and expert guidelines that advance patient care and outcomes.
  • Educational contributions that strengthen competency in ultrasound-guided interventions.

JMUPM features contributions from international pain specialists and radiologists, reflecting current trends and best practices in the expanding field of ultrasound-assisted pain care.

Featured Journal Sections & Highlights

1. Advances in Musculoskeletal Ultrasound in Pain Medicine

This section highlights the journal’s role in disseminating significant clinical research and protocols related to musculoskeletal ultrasound. Topics include:

  • Ultrasound-guided procedural techniques for pain syndromes.
  • Evaluations of imaging accuracy and interventional efficacy.
  • Sonoanatomy and practical tips for clinicians adopting ultrasound-based diagnostics.

These advances contribute to evidence-based pain practice and support improved outcomes for patients with complex musculoskeletal conditions.

2. Clinical Guidelines & Consensus Statements
