Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Chronic conditions are representative of various health-related states of the human body, such as syndromes, physical impairments, disabilities as well as diseases. People of all age groups, regions and countries are affected by chronic disease. Conservative management is a type of medical treatment defined by the avoidance of invasive measures such as surgery, usually with the intent to preserve function. The aims of conservative management are as follows:
- Preventing the symptoms of disease;
- Treating the symptoms of disease;
- Protecting and maintaining functions.
This Special Issue ‘Conservative Management of Chronic Disease’ invites submissions from researchers on a wide spectrum of topics related to improving and enhancing chronic disease management.
