Informationen zum Autor Nils Erik Gilhus, MD, University of Bergen, Norway Michael Brainin, MD, Danube University Krems, Austria Michael Barnes, MD FRCP, University of Newcastle, UK Klappentext 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 cover: Investigation Major neurological diseases Neuromuscular diseases Infections Neurological problems Sleep disorders Rehabilitation The European Handbook of Neurological Management provides a thoroughly rounded and grounded approach to best-practice neurological management using evidence-based principles.
