Handbook of Neurological Management

Edited by Richard Hughes, Michael Brainin and Nils Erik Gilhus

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.

Each chapter of the handbook is informed by a broad set of experiences – the result of an EFNS task force with a multinational European authorship. Furthermore, where possible, these task forces have collaborated with disease-specific European societies. On occasion, co-authors have been recruited from outside Europe.

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.

This 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.
