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
include, amongst others:
* Neurostimulation therapy for neuropathic pain
* Molecular diagnosis for a range of neurological conditions
* Intravenous immunoglobulin in the treatment of neurological
diseases
* Sleep disorders in neurodegenerative disorders and stroke
* Management of low-grade gliomas
* Treatment of miscellaneous idiopathic headache disorders
The European Handbook of Neurological Management
provides a thoroughly rounded and grounded approach to
best-practice neurological management using evidence-based
principles.
