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 being 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).

Neurological diseases present challenging management issues. Patients vary widely in the symptoms that need to be controlled and in their response to different treatments. Evidence continuously accumulates on the effectiveness of different approaches; new treatments regularly enter the market. Thisimportant resource offers a compendium of peer-reviewed guidelines for the treatment and management of neurological disease. Published in association with the European Federation of Neurological Societies, the information is based on evidence and/or the consensus of a range of experts from across Europe that has been published in the European Journal of Neurology .

Evidence-based, peer reviewed, best practice management guidelines for neurologists Diagnosis is only part of the puzzle. Effective treatment is what your patients really want. The European Federation of Neurological Societies has been publishing management guidelines in the European Journal of Neurology for many years. Developed by a consensus approach, using graded evidence, and then fully peer reviewed, these guidelines provide gold-standard, best-practice guidance to the treatment of neurological disorders. They help bridge the gap between what is done and what should be done for patients with neurological disorders. The basic guidelines have been expanded with 'Recommendations' based on strong evidence and 'Good Practice Points' where only weaker evidence is available. The Guidelines in this volume cover: Investigation Major neurological diseases Neuromuscular diseases Infections Neurological problems Sleep disorders Rehabilitation The European Handbook of Neurological Management provides a thoroughly rounded and grounded approach to best-practice neurological management using evidence-based principles.
