DOI: 10.1159/000525794
Abstract: Background: Serendipity and observations have a noble tradition in medicine, including neurology, and are responsible for many medical treatments (carbamazepine for tic douloureux, amantadine for Parkinson’s disease, gabapentin for restless legs…). We aimed at examining… read more here.
