European Handbook of Neurological Management

Published in collaboration with the European Federation of Neurological Societies (EFNS), this unique book brings together peer-reviewed guidelines for the treatment and management of neurological disease.

For the first time, neurologists can find advice on management aspects of most neurological disorders that is either evidence-based or, where the evidence is inadequate, the consensus guidance of an international European panel of experts.

The guidelines fall naturally into sections that cover:

• Investigation: cerebrospinal fluid analysis, imaging, diagnostic antibodies and skin biopsy
• Major neurological diseases: stroke, migraine, Parkinson’s disease, dystonia, mild traumatic brain injury, multiple sclerosis and Alzheimer’s disease
• Neuromuscular diseases: motor neuron disease, inflammatory neuropathy, muscular dystrophy and myasthenia gravis
• Infections: HIV infection and encephalitis
• Neurological problems: treatment of neuropathic pain, acute relapses of multiple sclerosis and status epilepticus, to name but a few
• Sleep disorders: Narcolepsy, other sleep disorders and restless legs syndrome
• Cognitive rehabilitation
