About this title

From the Publisher

This unique volume describes what every neurologist needs to know about clinical trials for neurologic disorders and how to assess them. There has been a surge of clinical trials in the past decade that have led to significant advances in the therapeutics of neurologic disease. This book applies the lessons learned from these trials to clinical practice. The strengths and weaknesses of trials that have been conducted in the past are assessed, and readers will gain the skills needed to evaluate trials on their own. The important areas of neurology in which trials are becoming increasingly important, such as stroke, epilepsy, head and spinal cord injuries, and movement disorders, are addressed. By applying the clinical evidence gained from the trials to neurologic practice, you will be better positioned to meet the needs of your patients.
