Peripheral Nerves: Imaging, Electrophysiology and Surgical Techniques

Dear Colleagues,

According to the World Health Organisation, 22% of primary care patients worldwide suffer from such intense pain that it impairs their capacity to carry out regular activities. Experiencing long-lasting pain can have harmful consequences for both physical and emotional health. Collaborative efforts involving musculoskeletal radiologists, neurologists, neurosurgeons, orthopedists, and physiatrists are crucial for accurately diagnosing and treating neurological pain resulting from nerve compression, trauma, and tumors. Peripheral nerve entrapments in the limbs can occur due to multiple factors and manifest at different levels of severity. Peripheral nerve injuries originating from accidents can lead to substantial impairment and greatly affect individuals’ lives. Early evaluation, precise and immediate intervention, and attentive oversight are all critical. Peripheral nerve tumors, which are primarily benign, are uncommon in adults without pre-existing health issues. Neurofibromas and schwannomas are separate types of tumors that can occur alone or together with neurofibromatosis (NF).

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.
