Aims & Scope

Neurospine provides spine clinicians and researchers with peer-reviewed articles on both basic and clinical investigations of the spine and spinal cord, aimed at enhancing patient management, education, research, and professionalism. The journal welcomes submissions covering the entire spine, from the craniocervical junction to the lumbosacral region, including the following areas: neuroscience and pain research, bone and mineral research, disc and joint research, biomedical and industrial technology, pathophysiology, risk factors, symptomatology, imaging, treatment, and rehabilitation of spine, spinal cord, and peripheral nerve diseases. Specifically, basic science and technology research includes influential studies from all fields of science and technology that advance the knowledge of physicians and researchers practicing spinal neurosurgery worldwide. Therefore, we invite valuable basic and translational research articles that introduce cutting-edge advancements in fundamental sciences and technology relevant to clinical spinal neurosurgery. Clinical and basic research articles, review articles, technical notes, and letters to the editor written in English are accepted.
