Special Issue "Rehabilitation for Persistent Pain Across the Lifespan"
" The present Special Issue offers a unique opportunity to contribute to a state of the art series on the rehabilitation of chronic pain, including but not limited to the following major areas: musculoskeletal pain, pediatric pain, postsurgical pain, cancer pain, pain in athletes, and neuropathic pain. We are delighted with the initiative by Journal of Clinical Medicine to launch this Special Issue. Journal of Clinical Medicine’s 2017 ISI Web of Knowledge impact factor is 5.593; ranked 15 out of 154 journals (D1 journal), making it a top journal in the area of medicine (general & internal medicine). The issue will include 5 invited contributions from world-leading experts, who will develop a ‘Best Evidence Rehabilitation for Chronic Pain’ Series. In addition, we welcome submissions from all chronic pain experts – clinicians and researchers – around the world to submit their work for consideration in this Special Issue. Manuscript formats can vary from literature reviews (systematic literature reviews and meta analyses or narrative reviews) to original research (trials, cohort studies, experimental lab work, case-control studies), as long as they are of high quality and focussed on rehabilitation for patients having persistent pain.
