Da bei psychischen Störungen Hausärzte fast immer die ersten Ansprechpartner sind und die Weichenstellung für eine kompetente fachärztliche Behandlung in ihren Händen liegt, wendet sich die Nervenheilkunde zugleich an Primärärzte. Ziel ist neben der Weitergabe aktueller wissenschaftlicher Erkenntnisse, praxistaugliche Informationen zu vermitteln, die zur besseren Versorgung von Patienten mit neurologischen und psychiatrischen Störungen beitragen. Regelmäßig werden Empfehlungen oder Leitlinien der Deutschen Migräne- und Kopfschmerzgesellschaft sowie der Deutschen Gesellschaft für Muskelkranke veröffentlicht. Nervenheilkunde erscheint regelmäßig mit zwölf Ausgaben pro Jahr und richtet sich vor allem an Nervenärzte, Neurologen, Psychiater und Psychologen in Klinik und Praxis, Allgemeinmediziner und niedergelassene Internisten.
