Abstract

The current best evidence in Parkinson’s disease, Essential Tremor, and Primary Dystonia is reviewed. Clinical questions regarding the epidemiology, diagnosis, and treatment of these disorders are presented. Using evidence-based approach, the literature is searched for the best-available evidence. These articles are critically appraised and an in-depth discussion is presented. Finally, Clinical Bottom Lines are highlighted summarizing the key clinical points for each disorder. This chapter serves as a reference for medical students, residents, fellows, and practicing neurologists.
