    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Neuroscience
    • Motor Neuron Diseases

    Background:

    • Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder.
    • It involves the selective loss of upper and lower motor neurons.
    • ALS incidence is comparable to or higher than multiple sclerosis.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To discuss the clinical and pathological features of ALS.
    • To outline practical management strategies for ALS patients.
    • To examine ongoing research into the etiology of ALS.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of clinical and pathological data in ALS.
    • Analysis of current management protocols.
    • Survey of ongoing etiological investigations.
