Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Neuropathic pain remains a significant clinical challenge, affecting millions worldwide and often proving refractory to conventional treatments. As our understanding of its complex pathophysiology continues to evolve, the need for innovative research spanning both clinical and preclinical domains has never been more pressing. This Special Issue of the Journal of Clinical Medicine aims to provide a comprehensive platform for cutting-edge research that advances our knowledge of neuropathic pain mechanisms, diagnostic strategies, and therapeutic interventions.
We invite researchers, clinicians, and industry professionals to contribute original research articles, systematic reviews/meta-analyses, and translational studies that address key aspects of neuropathic pain. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, novel pharmacological and non-pharmacological treatment approaches, biomarkers for early diagnosis and prognosis, neuroinflammatory and neuroimmune contributions to pain, and the role of genetic and epigenetic factors in pain susceptibility and treatment response. Studies exploring new surgical techniques, outcome measurements, or emerging technologies, such as neuromodulation and machine learning applications in pain assessment, are also highly encouraged.
By fostering collaboration across disciplines, this Special Issue seeks to bridge the gap between basic science discoveries and clinical applications, ultimately aiming to improve patient outcomes. We look forward to your valuable contributions that will help shape the future of neuropathic pain research and management.
Dr. Enrico Martin
Guest Editor
