Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Over the past decade, neuromodulation has significantly advanced on many levels, such as the development of new hardware, the use of different wave forms, new indications, and many other new innovations for all kinds of neuromodulation devices.
Understanding the basics of the technology and proposed mechanisms, in addition to the application of these basic concepts to ensure that devices are continuously innovated, is very important.
This Special Issue aims to present the basics of technology and the mechanism of action of different neuromodulation devices, including spinal cord stimulation, peripheral nerve stimulation, deep brain stimulation, vagal nerve stimulation, gastric stimulators, and sacral stimulators, among others. Each topic will discuss the basics of technology and clinical applications.
The mechanism of action of different neuromodulation devices has evolved over the years, and we continue to explore their potential. We also continue to explore more uses and benefits of these devices beyond their primary uses.
We encourage researchers to submit their work to this Special Issue and join us in producing a valuable resource for authors on this very important and novel topic.
Dr. Alaa Abd-Elsayed

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Bioengineering is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2700 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
