Copious use of easy-to-understand figures, tables, and algorithms make this book a useful and practical tool in the clinic.

Sections on evaluating and treating headaches in children, women during pregnancy, and the elderly complete this comprehensive reference. The likely readership will include the following: neurologists, general physicians, doctors in training, hospital pharmacists, primary care physicians, nurses and nurse practitioners.
