Description
The European Handbook of Neurological Management, published in collaboration with the European Federation of Neurological Societies (EFNS), is a unique book that 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. The European Handbook of Neurological Management is a book that any neurologist, without regard to national boundaries, will find a useful aid in the day-to-day management of neurological disease.

Reviews / Votes
"The strengths of this endeavour are the appealing concept of bringing together multiple evidence-based guidelines into one corpus; the broad, multinational and expert European authorship ... .This book should be well received by European neurologists and neurological trainees."
