Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

We are thrilled to present the Journal of Personalized Medicine’s Special Issue on “Neuropsychological Disorders: Interventions and Treatments”.

This Special Issue delves into the complexities of conditions affecting the central and peripheral nervous systems, along with the internal mechanisms governing mental processes.

Neuropsychological disorders and dysfunctions, which are influenced by genetic factors, infections, and environmental health issues, demand critical attention. Their impact on health, evident in symptoms from physical impairments to emotional disturbances, emphasizes the urgency of their comprehensive study. Recognizing the intricate interplay between these disorders and dysfunctions is crucial for effective intervention and treatment strategies, which are essential to improving overall health outcomes.

We are open to scientific articles that will help shape this Special Issue. Your insights will significantly contribute to understanding neuropsychological disorders and interventions, enriching the ongoing dialogue. Thank you for considering our invitation; we eagerly anticipate receiving your submissions.

Prof. Dr. Salvatore Rinaldi

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Journal of Personalized Medicine is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.

Background: This study evaluated the effectiveness of radio electric asymmetric conveyer (REAC) neurobiological optimization treatments on muscle strength (MS) in individuals with post-polio syndrome (PPS), a condition causing new muscle weakness in polio survivors. Traditional treatments focus on symptom management, whereas REAC technology uses radio electric symmetric conveyed fields to modulate neurotransmission and cellular function. Methods: This open-label study involved 17 PPS patients who maintained their existing medications. The participants underwent four REAC treatment protocols: neuro-postural optimization (NPO), neuro-psycho-physical optimization (NPPO), neuro-psycho-physical optimization—cervical brachial (NPPO-CB), and neuromuscular optimization (NMO). MS was assessed using manual muscular tests (MMT) before and after each protocol. Results: A statistical analysis via repeated measures ANOVA showed significant MS improvements, particularly in the proximal muscles of the left lower limb (LLL), distal muscles of both lower limbs (LLs), and distal muscles of the left upper limb. The LLL, the most severely affected limb at this study’s start, exhibited the greatest improvement. Conclusions: These results suggest REAC treatments could enhance MS in PPS patients, potentially reorganizing motor patterns and reducing functional overload on less affected limbs. Full article
