Abstract

This chapter discusses the main challenges of the 12 conditions reviewed in this book according to the 100 most cited clinical trials in each of these conditions, with the aim of providing future perspectives for the development of high-quality clinical trials in neurology. Therefore, the limitations of the studies are discussed, possible solutions as well as the areas in which research is still needed. For this purpose, relevant practices in these clinical trials are analyzed and suggestions are made for the improvement on the design and conduction of further clinical studies in the field.
