The classic text that covers both the basic and clinical aspects of neurology – updated with the latest therapeutic advances


A Doody’s Core Title for 2019!
Since 1989, Clinical Neurology has helped students, residents, and clinicians understand the link between basic neuroscience and current approaches in diagnosis and treatment. Applauded for its practice-oriented approach to neurology based on the patient’s presenting symptoms, this full-color resource delivers the clearest and most efficient introduction to the field available today.


As with each new edition, the authors have retained and refined the instructional material relating to the function of the nervous system in health and disease and have updated the text with the latest diagnostic and therapeutic advances. Recent discoveries in molecular biology and immunology have led to the approval of new drugs for the treatment of multiple sclerosis (alemtuzumab), spinal muscular atrophy (nusinersen), amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (edaravone), and Huntington’s disease (deutetrabenazine). These and other therapeutic advances are included in this new edition.


Presented in full color, Clinical Neurology is enhanced by chapter outlines that facilitate a quick review of each topic, an emphasis on the neurologic examination and history taking as the cornerstone of diagnosis, and treatment protocols that reflect the most recent advances in the field.


If you are in need of a clear, well-written introduction to neurology as practiced on the wards and in an outpatient setting, your search ends here.

Reviews

[Shahryar Shalchi]

A neurologist approaches to the diseases like a detector.
And this book learns you how to detect.

Well this book ruined my life. Basically I couldn’t read a single book for 2 months!!! Because I had to pass this stupid test, where guess what? I hardly even passed! It does get points for helping me pass at all tho, so 2 stars! Yay
I’ve read at this point so many medical books but only this one will get noted on my Goodreads account due to the deep suffering I’ve experienced from it. My only wish is that I never read this one ever again.

[Nancy Foster]

4 1/2 stars! Great read, easy to understand even if it is more aimed at medical students than residents.

[Cheryl]

Excellent source for the Neurological PT and I still use it as a great source as an Orthopedic PT who treats patients with secondary Neurological issues. Excellent explanations and information for DPT's and/or PT's who strive for knowledge that impacts evaluations, treatments and excellent care. I hand it to all my students who work with my head ache patients to gain important information about distinguishing red flags, medical emergencies, to learn how to differentiate what we can and can not treat. Very important reference for any clinician and professional to not just read but understand. It's one of my few "Bibles" for work.
