Trending and Emerging
- Genetic and Rare Disorders:
An increasing number of publications focus on rare genetic disorders, driven by advancements in genetic testing and personalized medicine, highlighting the importance of accurate diagnosis and tailored therapies. - Neuroinflammation and Immunology:
There is a notable trend in exploring the role of neuroinflammation and autoimmune processes in pediatric neurology, especially in the context of infections and post-infectious syndromes. - Technological Innovations in Treatment:
Research on novel treatment modalities, including the use of robotics in rehabilitation and telemedicine for remote consultations, is gaining traction as a response to the needs of pediatric patients. - Impact of COVID-19 on Pediatric Neurology:
The ongoing research into the neurological implications of COVID-19 in children is emerging, focusing on both acute and long-term effects, which reflects the pandemic's profound impact on health care. - Neuropsychological Assessments:
Growing emphasis on the cognitive and behavioral assessments of children with neurological disorders is evident, indicating a shift towards holistic care that includes mental health considerations.
Declining or Waning
- Traditional Neurological Disorders:
Research on more common traditional neurological disorders such as migraines and tension-type headaches appears to be receiving less focus, potentially due to the increasing emphasis on rare and genetic disorders. - Psychosocial Aspects of Neurology:
While previously a topic of interest, studies specifically examining the psychosocial impacts of neurological disorders on families and caregivers seem to be less frequent, suggesting a shift towards more clinical and biological research. - Case Reports of Isolated Disorders:
The journal appears to have fewer publications centered solely on case reports of isolated neurological disorders, possibly in favor of broader studies that encompass multiple cases or syndromes.
