Background:

  • Neurologists manage patients with chronic, critical, and incurable neurological diseases.
  • Palliative care expertise is essential for these patients, particularly at the end of life.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To define the evolving role of neurologists in palliative care.
  • To review current challenges and educational initiatives in neurological palliative care.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of studies on palliative care in neurological diseases.
  • Analysis of recommendations from professional organizations.
  • Overview of educational programs.

Main Results:

  • Many patients with neurological conditions experience significant symptoms (e.g., pain, dyspnea) near end of life.
  • Existing guidelines are not always fully implemented.
