Patient's question:
Recently, I don't know why I can't sleep, which greatly affects my work efficiency. My friend recommended that I go to the neurology department for a check-up. What is amyotrophic lateral sclerosis?Doctor's answer:
Hello: It is generally believed that spinal lateral sclerosis is based on the damage of the corticospinal tract, and it is primarily characterized as a motor neuron disease with spastic paraplegia and normal sensation. Clinically, it typically presents as a mixed collapse of upper and lower motor neuron damage. You need to go to the neurology department of the hospital for diagnosis, undergo relevant neurological examinations, and receive symptomatic treatment for nerve nutrition based on the specific examination results. Pay attention to rest, avoid overexertion and infections, engage in adequate exercise, maintain a light diet, and avoid spicy and greasy foods. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
