We just used clinical trial data regarding eculizumab in myasthenia gravis as an example of how to critically appraise the literature, and in this week's program...MORE data on the efficacy of eculizumab in another neurologic condition. This week on BrainWaves, the exciting results of the PREVENT trial, and the future treatment of NMO spectrum disorder!
