Sleepwalking
Current Treatment Options in Neurology - Tập 18 - Trang 1-9 - 2016
Sleepwalking (SW) is a parasomnia, an abnormal behavior occurring during sleep. SW is a non-REM sleep parasomnia, an arousal disorder, like sleep terrors and confusional arousals. SW results from an incomplete arousal from slow-wave sleep, some regions of the cerebral cortex being awake and allowing movement and vision for example and others being asleep, preventing memorization or judgment. Usual......
Treatment Considerations in the Radiologically Isolated Syndrome
Current Treatment Options in Neurology - Tập 22 - Trang 1-8 - 2020
This review provides the reader with updated information needed to make an accurate diagnosis of radiologically isolated syndrome (RIS), discusses controversies and considerations related to therapeutic intervention in RIS, and summarizes ongoing clinical intervention trials. Individuals with RIS lack clinical neurological symptoms but are at risk for the subsequent development of a first clinical......
Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy
Current Treatment Options in Neurology - Tập 5 - Trang 357-364 - 2003
Although there are close to 10 randomized trials showing efficacy for prednisone, intravenous immunoglobulin, or plasmapheresis in chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP), large differences in cost, side effect profiles, and ease of use create controversy over the therapy that is best. Most clinicians use intravenous immunoglobulin or prednisone as first-line therapy. Unfortunatel......
Central nervous system infections in transplantation
Current Treatment Options in Neurology - Tập 8 - Trang 193-201 - 2006
Central nervous system (CNS) infections are a rare but serious complication of transplantation. An appropriate diagnostic workup should be streamlined with stratification of infection risk by length and degree of immune suppression, lesion localization, and timing. Polymerase chain reaction has high sensitivity and specificity for rapid identification of viral infections and should be used when av......
Management of Serotonin Syndrome and Neuroleptic Malignant Syndrome
Current Treatment Options in Neurology - Tập 18 - Trang 1-8 - 2016
Serotonin syndrome (SS) and neuroleptic malignant syndrome (NMS) can present similarly and range in severity from mild to life-threatening. Although they are easily misdiagnosed, each is distinct clinically and pathophysiologically. It is important to distinguish between the two, as therapeutic options differ. An accurate and thorough medication history plus knowledge of the various clinical prese......
Treatment of Mitochondrial Disorders
Current Treatment Options in Neurology - Tập 16 - Trang 1-20 - 2014
While numerous treatments for mitochondrial disorders have been suggested, relatively few have undergone controlled clinical trials. Treatment of these disorders is challenging, as only symptomatic therapy is available. In this review we will focus on newer drugs and treatment trials in mitochondrial diseases, with a special focus on medications to avoid in treating epilepsy and ICU patient with m......
Management of Traumatic Brain Injury
Current Treatment Options in Neurology - Tập 12 - Trang 142-154 - 2010
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a complex disease process that requires constant attention as one manages the associated body systems. Even though an “isolated” brain injury may be the cause for admission to the hospital, the injured brain cannot be thought of in isolation from the remainder of the body. All body systems, from cardiac to pulmonary, need to be addressed as one moves from the initia......
Anti-Epileptic Drugs and Hormonal Treatments
Current Treatment Options in Neurology - Tập 16 - Trang 1-9 - 2014
Epilepsy and the medications used in its treatment are known to affect the menstrual cycle, aspects of contraception, and bone health in women. Adolescence is an important time to review the diagnosis of both epilepsy and the epilepsy syndrome because of the implications and decisions, which should be made regarding antiepileptic drug (AED) treatment. In girls, once they are on AED therapy, seizur......
