Produktbeschreibung
Over the past few decades, neurology has seen spectacular developments in diagnostic techniques, particularly in neuroimaging and molecular genetics, accompanied by an increasing number of effective therapies to treat neurological disease. This is particularly true for the field of movement disorders. Since the highly successful introduction of levodopa about 40 years ago, the therapeutic options for Parkinson's disease have grown exponentially, often making treatment decisions difficult.

This is the only current book on movement disorders to emphasize treatment. The authors, experts in their field, have used evidence from randomized controlled clinical trials to develop practical recommendations for every day clinical practice, bringing their personal clinical acumen and therapeutic wisdom to the book.
_ Provides a comprehensive update on therapies for Parkinson's disease and other movement disorders
_ Describes the basic mechanisms of neurodegeneration, pharmacologic interventions for motor and non-motor symptoms, and surgical management
_ Features summary tables and algorithms that serve as a quick reference guide for practical treatment decisions
_ The expert guidance of recognised authorities will enable readers of this book to plan their patients' care with greater confidence

Therapeutics of Parkinson's Disease & Other Movement Disorders is essential reading for residents in clinical neurology, clinical research fellows in neurology and related disciplines, general neurologists, and movement disorder specialists, as well as those working in the pharmaceutical industry with an interest in movement disorders.

Rezensionen
"This book can be strongly recommended and is an asset to libraries of both movement disorder specialists and general neurologists. Its logical structure, linking therapy with underlying pathophysiology, means that it will remain a useful reference even as new therapies inevitably emerge." ( The Lancet Neurology , July 2009)
