The European Handbook of Neurological Management, published in collaboration with the European Federation of Neurological Societies (EFNS), is a unique collection of peer-reviewed guidelines for the treatment and management of neurological disease. For the first time, neurologists can find advice on management aspects of most neurological disorders that is either evidence-based or, where the evidence is inadequate, the consensus guidance of an international European panel of experts.

Each chapter of the handbook is informed by a broad set of experiences – the result of an EFNS task force with a multinational European authorship. Furthermore, where possible, these task forces have collaborated with disease-specific European societies. On occasion, co-authors have been recruited from outside Europe.

The guidelines fall naturally into sections that cover:

*Investigation: cerebrospinal fluid analysis, imaging, diagnostic antibodies and skin biopsy
*Major neurological diseases: stroke, migraine, Parkinson’s disease, dystonia, mild traumatic brain injury, multiple sclerosis and Alzheimer’s disease
*Neuromuscular diseases: motor neuron disease, inflammatory neuropathy, muscular dystrophy and myasthenia gravis
*Infections: HIV infection and encephalitis
*Neurological problems: treatment of neuropathic pain, acute relapses of multiple sclerosis and status epilepticus, to name but a few
*Sleep disorders: Narcolepsy, other sleep disorders and restless legs syndrome
*Cognitive rehabilitation.

Any neurologist, without regard to national boundaries, will find the European Handbook of Neurological Management a useful aid in the day-to-day management of neurological disease.
