Evidence-based, peer reviewed, best practice managementguidelines for neurologistsDiagnosis 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 only weaker evidence isavailable. The Guidelines in this volume cover:InvestigationMajor neurological diseasesNeuromuscular diseasesInfectionsNeurological problemsSleep disordersRehabilitationThe European Handbook of Neurological Management providesa thoroughly rounded and grounded approach to best-practiceneurological management using evidence-based principles.
