• 
  
• fills the gap between guidelines and primary studies as well as between primary and secondary scientific medical literature
  
• summarizes the most recent and important findings on treatments for neurological patients
  
• measures the benefit and, when applicable, the risk of harm inherent in specific neurological interventions.

Each chapter starts with a brief definition of the clinical condition, together with its incidence and natural history. A clear formulation of a real-world scenario or question usually follows, structured using the standard three elements of patient, intervention, and outcome. The results are as quantitative as possible.

This unique, evidence-based text, edited by members of the Cochrane Neurological Network will be an essential resource for all general neurologists, from the novice to the most experienced, in their everyday clinical practice.
