Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The evolution of research in the field of pain neuroscience is extraordinary. Various neural mechanisms underlying pain (early detection, chronic pain modulation, etc.), which were previously poorly researched, have become clearer with advancements in neuroimaging and electrophysiological studies. Moreover, new developments in techniques such as functional MRI and neural microprobing offer further opportunities with high precision in understanding pain pathways. On the other hand, treatment methodologies based on pain neuroscience have also seen significant breakthroughs. Therapeutic modalities have continually expanded, and novel interventions that have been previously unexplored are being researched and introduced. In particular, the rise of neuromodulation techniques has transformed our approach to managing chronic pain conditions. In this Special Issue, we invite authors to submit papers on the advancements in pain neuroscience, encompassing both diagnostic revelations and therapeutic innovations.
