Neuromuscular Disorders

Neuromuscular Disorders is the official Journal of the World Muscle Society an international, multidisciplinary, scientific society, dedicated to the advancement and dissemination of knowledge in the field of neuromuscular disorders.

The journal is a platform for clinical academics and scientists to publish their research results from studies on neuromuscular diseases including acquired and hereditary diseases that affect the muscle, the neuromuscular junction or the lower motor neuron.

The research articles may include clinical aspects, such as new clinical entities, progress in diagnostics, treatment and management or research on cell or animal models of relevance to the clinical conditions.

Review articles by renowned clinical academics or scientists on the topics mentioned above are welcome. Review articles by uncredited contributors will not be accepted.

Reports from international workshops may be considered especially when they include consensus on guidelines regarding diagnostics, nomenclature, treatment outcome measures or other research strategies of general international interest.

Case reports will only be considered if they provide an in-depth analysis of specific neuromuscular disorders that could serve as exemplary models for future research in the field. Reports on new mutations in already known genes or combinations of pathologies in the same individual will not be accepted unless they offer new insights of broader significance.

Socio-economic studies and survey reports based on non-validated questionnaires will usually not be considered.
