"This well written comprehensive book provides the reader with good clinical descriptions of the major movement disorders and with extensively referenced data on studies and trials regarding both drugs incriminated in abnormal movements and those useful in their management."
"In conclusion, this comprehensive review of drug-induced movement disorders will be extremely useful to every clinician, particularly those interested in the fields of neurology and psychiatry."
Christian Wider, European Neurology, December 5th 2005
Product Description
The understanding of drug-induced movement disorders is extremely difficult, and many physicians and clinicians find this a difficult and complex area to treat. The unique way in which the plethora of different drugs react and manifest with the patient’s exact condition is particularly hard to manage and diagnose. The effects of some of these drugs may suppress other symptoms that the patient may have, leading to confusion in the analysis of a patient’s care, especially when trying to avoid permanent movement disorders.
The second revised edition of this text will update and present current state of the art clinical approaches to this subject, assisting neurologists and physicians alike in this difficult but increasingly common situation.
This book will continue to be the source text of information on drug-induced movement disorders authored and edited by the pioneers in the field. It will be an invaluable addition to the library of any neurologist.
