Intrinsic biological clocks drive the circadian rhythm, which coordinates the physiological and pathophysiological processes in the body. Recently, a bidirectional relationship between circadian rhythms and several neurological diseases has been reported. Neurological diseases can lead to the disruption of circadian homeostasis, thereby increasing disease severity. Therefore, optimizing the current treatments through circadian-based approaches, including adjusted dosing, changing lifestyle, and targeted interventions, offer a promising opportunity for better clinical outcomes and precision medicine. In this review, we provide detailed implications of the circadian rhythm in neurological diseases through bench-to-bedside approaches. Furthermore, based on the unsatisfactory clinical outcomes, we critically discuss the potential of circadian-based interventions, which may encourage more studies in this discipline, with the hope of improving treatment efficacy in neurological diseases.
