Abstract:
When caring for patients with disorders of the central nervous system such as migraine headaches, epilepsy, or MS, clinicians are faced with increasingly complex pharmacotherapeutic options. Pharmacotherapeutic strategies directed toward prevention, reversal, or cure of these diseases are hampered by an incomplete understanding of the underlying pathophysiology. In this decade of the brain, basic science research combined with difficult but necessary clinical trials may answer some seemingly overwhelming questions for these devastating illnesses.
