Summary:

Handbook of Neurological Therapy is a practical guide that provides 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 provided in order to meet the expectations of the reader. All neurological conditions, common and less common, are discussed, and each chapter contains an introduction on the epidemiology and clinical features of each disease. The therapy is then discussed, including pharmacological and non-pharmacological, with wide use of illustrative tables and figures. Book jacket.
