From an expert editor team drawn from the Cochrane Neurological Network, Evidence-Based Neurology provides specialists and those in training with the skills and knowledge to apply evidence-based practice in the clinical setting.
- 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
- now includes new non-clinical topics of interest to neurologists such as education and research
