Finding the current best evidence for care of the neurological patient and keeping up-to-date with new advances in clinical research is challenging. New medical knowledge is evolving quickly, but most studies lead nowhere or are too preliminary to act on and serve to bury or at least camouflage the few important studies. Evidence Based Clinical Practice (EBCP) is becoming an important and vital tool in this rapidly changing culture. As the quantity of neurological research publications continues to expand exponentially, evidence based principles provide a systematic and comprehensive strategy to approach this literature. There is a need for more availability of evidence based critically appraised information in the clinical neurosciences.
