Emerging Trends in Neuromodulation for Children with Neurological Conditions

Dear Colleagues,

The field of neuromodulation is constantly growing and providing new avenues for promoting function following a neurological insult or impairment. While the number of clinical trials in adults that use neuromodulation as a treatment and/or therapy greatly outweighs the number of studies in the pediatric population, the pediatric field is growing, and more studies are demonstrating the requirements and benefits of this emerging technology.

This Special Issue will delineate current areas of research in pediatric neuromodulation and disseminate their exciting findings. Additionally, this Special Issue will address the necessary next steps needed to make neuromodulation techniques accessible for the pediatric population with neurological impairments.

We welcome cutting-edge research in neuromodulation for children. 

We welcome original articles, case studies, and reviews that study any form of neuromodulation in the neurologically impaired pediatric population. The methods used may include the use of a device to alleviate symptoms, increase function, or be restorative.

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. Children 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 2400 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.
