Guidance for the preparation of neurological management guidelines by EFNS scientific task forces revised recommendations 2012This paper is meant to provide guidance to anyone wishing to write a neurological guideline for diagnosis or treatment, and is directed at the Scientist Panels and task forces of the European Federation of Neurological Societies (EFNS). It substitutes the previous guidance paper from 2004. It contains several new aspects: the guidance is now based on a change of the grading system for evidence and for the resulting recommendations, and has adopted The Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development and 01 March 2013
EFNS/MDS-ES recommendations for the diagnosis of Parkinson's diseaseConclusions: The diagnosis of PD is still largely based on the correct identification of its clinical features.

Development of clinical practice guidelines for patient management of blood pressure instability in MSA, PD .......Utilization of a self-care protocol could assist in planning more effective care regimens. Additionally, benefits to the patient and the health care system may also result from using evidence-based clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) to make patient care decisions. 21 May 2010
Early Diagnosis of Parkinson's Disease: Recommendations From Diagnostic Clinical GuidelinesDiagnosis of PD based on clinical features and response to antiparkinsonian medication can be achieved with a fairly high level of accuracy, particularly when made by a physician specializing in movement disorders. This article reviews and summarizes published recommendations for the clinical diagnosis of PD. 17 March 2010
Practice Parameter: Treatment of nonmotor symptoms of Parkinson diseaseThis evidence-based practice parameter evaluates treatment options for the nonmotor symptoms of PD. 16 March 2010
