Wondering how to treat motor neuron disease

Patient's question:

Is there a better treatment method currently?

Doctor's answer:

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a disease with a very complex etiology. It is a chronic, progressive neurodegenerative disease that selectively targets anterior horn cells of the spinal cord, motor neurons in the brainstem, cortical motor neurons, and the corticospinal tract. The most common type of ALS treatment includes neurotrophic and muscle spasticity treatment, as well as stem cell therapy. Which treatment method is adopted for a specific patient depends on the individual circumstances.
