Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The effective treatment of sports injuries involves a delicate balance of pain management, recovery optimization, and performance enhancement. Advances in these areas are crucial to ensuring athletes return to their peak physical condition and maintain long-term functionality. By integrating modern techniques with traditional approaches, sports medicine has evolved to offer more personalized, data-driven solutions for injury treatment and prevention.
The evaluation of sports injuries now extends beyond surface-level assessments, incorporating insights from biomechanics, neurophysiology, and rehabilitation sciences. Multidisciplinary approaches are essential for understanding injury mechanisms, managing pain, and optimizing recovery. This involves not only treating injuries but also addressing the underlying movement patterns and neuromuscular coordination issues that contribute to long-term performance deficits.
In this Special Issue, we highlight the latest advances in sports injury treatment, particularly innovative strategies for pain management, recovery science, and performance optimization. We invite contributions that explore cutting-edge techniques such as advanced rehabilitation protocols, novel pain relief modalities, performance-enhancing recovery strategies, and methods for accelerating the healing process. Studies on advanced technologies (e.g., wearables, AI-driven recovery tools) and data-driven approaches to injury prevention and treatment are highly encouraged. Our aim is to showcase research that advances the field and contributes to more effective, sustainable treatments for athletes at all levels.

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 Clinical Medicine is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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.
