Provides a comprehensive source of neurological therapy, applicable not only to the average patient but also to exceptional cases and covering alternative therapies and complications as well. Specific data on the expected success of therapy, prognostic factors, and limitations are included. Arranged in topical sections by type of disorder, e.g. cognitive and behavioral, cerebrovascular, movement, metabolic and progressive, each chapter covers clinical aspects, natural course, principles of therapy, practical management, and treatments no longer recommended. The last chapter summarizes relevant side effects of drugs used in neurology.
