Description

Neurological medicine is concerned with the diagnosis and treatment of conditions affecting the brain, spinal cord and the peripheral and central nervous system. There are different types of neurological disorders, some of which are common while others are rare. Brain damage and brain dysfunction, spinal cord disorders, neuropsychiatric illnesses, movement disorders, etc. are some examples. They may be assessed through a neurological examination, and treated using techniques developed within the specialties of neurology and clinical neuropsychology. A neurological examination seeks to find any lesions in the central and peripheral nervous systems through an assessment of motor and sensory responses. These findings are then combined to see if they indicate a recognizable medical condition or a neurological disorder. Some of the specializations within neurology are brain injury medicine, hospice and palliative medicine, neuromuscular medicine, sleep medicine, pain medicine, etc. This book is compiled in such a manner, that it will provide in-depth knowledge about the theory and practice of neurological medicine. The ever-growing need of advanced therapeutic strategies is the reason that has fueled the research in the field of neurological medicine in recent times. This book is appropriate for students seeking detailed information in this area as well as for experts.
