Evidence continuously accumulates on the effectiveness of different approaches; new treatments regularly enter the market. This important resource offers a compendium of peer-reviewed guidelines for the treatment and management of neurological disease. Published in association with the EuropeanFederation of Neurological Societies, the information is based on evidence and/or the consensus of a range of experts from across Europe that has been published in the European Journal of Neurology.
