Jing Wang, MD, PhD

As an anesthesiologist specializing in pain medicine at NYU Langone, I am dedicated to providing comprehensive and compassionate care to my patients. My approach is rooted in the belief that effective pain management requires a combination of vigilance, decisiveness, and empathy. By integrating clinical practice with research, I strive to offer innovative treatments that address both acute and chronic pain, ensuring that my patients receive the highest standard of care.

I focus on treating patients with a wide range of pain conditions, from pain after surgery to chronic pain syndromes. My expertise includes using multimodal analgesic regimens that incorporate pharmacology, interventional procedures, and psycho-behavioral treatments. This holistic approach allows me to treat the whole person, rather than just targeting specific disease sites, which is crucial for improving overall health and recovery.

With extensive experience in both clinical and research settings, I bring a unique perspective to pain management. My team and I are well-versed in the latest advances in analgesic medications and pain treatment methodologies. We employ an interdisciplinary approach, combining our collective knowledge to develop personalized treatment plans that meet the diverse needs of our patients.

My journey into medicine was driven by a desire to help patients with both chronic illnesses and acute needs. My dual training as an MD and PhD has allowed me to merge clinical practice with neuroscience research, particularly in the field of pain medicine. I am currently leading several clinical trials, including a significant phase 3 trial examining the use of ketamine in preventing pain after mastectomy in women. My research also explores brain mechanisms of pain and innovative treatments, such as closed-loop brain-machine interfaces and psychedelics.
