Synopsis

This is a practical book on neurological therapy. It is aimed at giving concise and updated answers to busy practicing clinicians in the clinic, ward, or emergency department. An evidence-based approach is used, but when there is no evidence or the data are inconclusive, an expert opinion is always given in order to meet the expectations of the reader. All neurological conditions, common and less common, are discussed; each chapter has a similar format, and contains an initial brief introduction on the epidemiology and clinical features of each disease. The therapy is then discussed, including pharmacological and non-pharmacological, with wide use of Tables & Figures. Flowcharts are also included in most of the chapters.

The book meets an important need, it is highly recommendable to residents in training, general neurologists as well as for those experts who need a quick reference for treatment of neurological disorders outside of their field of expertise." --Murat Emre, MD, Professor at University of Istanbul Medical School, Turkey

As seasoned investigators they are able not only to provide a comprehensive and practical therapeutic recommendations, but also a critical review of limitations of currently available therapies, shortcomings of the various clinical trials used as basis for the practice of "evidence-based medicine", and look into their crystal ball for future trends and directions." --Jospeh Jankovic, MD, Professor of Neurology, Distinguished Chair in Movement Disorders, Baylor College of Medicine, Department of Neurology, Texas
