OA web site on pain research and treatment

Pain Treatment Topix is a new OA web site on pain. From today's accouncement:
It provides evidence-based clinical news, information, research, and education on the causes and effective treatment of all pain conditions.

According to Pain Treatment Topix Publisher/Editor, Stewart B. Leavitt, MA, PhD, “In many ways, Pain-Topix.com acts as a clearinghouse gathering and logically organizing all the clinical essentials of pain management at one website; thereby, visitors can make the most of their time on the Internet. This is an open-access website –– all of the resources are available free of charge, without restriction or required registration –– and we are not promoting or selling any products or services.”...

Pain Treatment Topix is modeled after another successful project –– Addiction Treatment Forum –– which Leavitt and colleagues started in 1992. This has become a leading noncommercial educational program in the addiction treatment field worldwide.
