Abstract:
This article summarizes the main therapeutic advances of 2010 in the field of neurology. It focuses on aspects that are likely to change the care of patients in clinical practice. Among these, we discuss the new oral treatments that have proved to be effective in multiple sclerosis, the results of two large studies comparing endarterectomy and stenting in carotid stenosis, novel therapeutic approaches for the treatment of non-motor symptoms in Parkinson's disease as well as the results of several pharmacological studies in the field of epilepsy.
