Evidence-based, peer reviewed, best practice managementguidelines for neurologists
Diagnosis is only part of the puzzle. Effective treatment iswhat your patients really want. The European Federation ofNeurological Societies has been publishing management guidelines inthe European Journal of Neurology for many years. Developedby a consensus approach, using graded evidence, and then fully peerreviewed, these guidelines provide gold-standard, best-practiceguidance to the treatment of neurological disorders. They helpbridge the gap between what is done and what should be done forpatients with neurological disorders.
The basic guidelines have been expanded with 'Recommendations'based on strong evidence and 'Good Practice Points' where onlyweaker evidence is available. The Guidelines in this volumeinclude, amongst others:
* Neurostimulation therapy for neuropathic pain
* Molecular diagnosis for a range of neurological conditions
* Intravenous immunoglobulin in the treatment of neurologicaldiseases
* Sleep disorders in neurodegenerative disorders and stroke
* Management of low-grade gliomas
* Treatment of miscellaneous idiopathic headache disorders
The European Handbook of Neurological Managementprovides a thoroughly rounded and grounded approach tobest-practice neurological management using evidence-basedprinciples.
