Evidence-Based Treatment of Cerebrovascular Disease The following lecture is part of an ongoing series of lectures that discuss the current state of evidence supporting different treatments for the most common types of cerebrovascular disease. This lecture will cover some basic principles of evidence
based medicine. We will discuss different types of evidence,
their validity and sources of bias. Pros and cons of different
methods to measure therapeutic effects will be addressed.
Some of the problems in trying to apply the evidence-based
approach in the real world will be covered.
