Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Functional neurosurgery is a discipline that allows the control of neuronal networks through the introduction of electrodes connected to a neurostimulator.
Neuromodulation may be cerebral (deep brain stimulation) to treat Parkinson's disease, essential tremor, and dystonia. Deep brain stimulation is a source of major therapeutic innovation in the field of neurology and also in psychiatry, with new emerging targets to treat the symptoms of other diseases for which it has profoundly modified the prognosis and management (Tourette's disease, obsessive compulsive disorders, walking and balance disorders, etc.).
Or it can be implemented at the spinal cord level: spinal cord stimulation to control neuropathic pain after spinal or cranial surgery, but also post-chemotherapy, ischemic, or diabetic neuropathic pain.
The development of functional neurosurgery is linked to the progress made in terms of equipment and fundamental and applied research.
The miniaturization of neurostimulators, new waveforms, and the adaptability of electrodes allow for substantial gains in terms of pain reduction, increased quality of life, and reduction of adverse effects.
All these topics will be discussed in this Special Issue.
Dr. Sylvie Raoul
Guest Editor
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. Journal of Clinical Medicine is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2600 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.
