Clinical Plasma Medicine

Aims & Scope

It publishes peer-reviewed articles on therapeutic plasma applications for specific medical indications, general aspects of clinical plasma medicine, laboratory research with clear reference to clinical questions as well as technical aspects of applicability and safety of plasma use in clinical practise.

Especially, clinical and experimental studies in all medical domains as for example wound treatment, cancer treatment, dermatology, and dentistry are welcome but also in vitro studies on microorganisms and mammalian cells which investigate biological effects of cold atmospheric plasmas with regard to specific aspects of its potential medical application as well as to safety aspects of medical plasma applications.

Clinical Plasma Medicine focuses primarily on original research articles including (short) reviews, randomized controlled studies, other clinical, observational and epidemiological studies, case reports as well as experimental studies.

In addition, the Journal will feature opinion articles as well as contributions relating to health policy, health economics and technical aspects of plasma-based medical devices.
