There has been continuous progress in neurotherapeutics and neuropsychopharmacology in the past year. Notable are the reports of successful preliminary disease-modifying trials in Niemann-Pick disease and Friedreich's ataxia. Progress also has been made in treatment of migraine, stroke, epilepsy, multiple sclerosis, traumatic brain injury, and pain. Biomarkers are increasingly used to establish proof of pharmacology including measures of cerebrospinal fluid constituents and brain changes on magnetic resonance imaging. There is an increasing diversity of patient populations participating in clinical trials, including pediatric migraine and traumatic brain injury. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER] |
