US NEUROLOGICAL DISEASE REPORT 2006 - IN ASSOCIATION WITH BTG |
|
Despite the tremendous advances in our knowledge of pathophysiology of the common neurological disorders, their treatment remains stubbornly problematical and in some cases solely palliative.Meanwhile, the graying of and rise in body mass index (BMI) of our populations dictates that many of these diseases will become more and more significant to society. So, are we yet on the cusp of medical and drug discovery breakthroughs that will really make a difference to the lives of people with diseases such as Alzheimer’s? In this special supplement, we have asked leading experts in the fields of neurology, pain, and sleep medicine to comment on the prospects for five disease areas of high interest to the medical community and patients—Alzheimer’s disease, multiple sclerosis (MS), neuropathic pain, migraine, and sleep apnea.
