Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Scientific interest in the applications of peripheral nerve ultrasound is still growing. Since 2023, a search for “peripheral nerve ultrasound” on PubMed has yielded more than 3700 citations. Ultrasound protocols are also increasingly being used in work-ups for the differential diagnosis of entrapment neuropathies, traumatic nerve lesions, plexopathies, and polyneuropathies. The second revision of the EAN/PNS guidelines on the diagnosis and treatment of CIDP included ultrasound for the first time in their supportive criteria for diagnosis. In addition, there is a growing number of promising technical advancements in peripheral nerve ultrasound.
This Special Issue aims to present up-to-date knowledge on peripheral nerve ultrasound with a focus on clinical applications.
We encourage you and your co-workers to submit reviews or original research articles dealing with the clinical use of peripheral nerve ultrasound and results and expectations regarding innovative ultrasound techniques.
