Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, also known as motor neuron disease, is a condition that exclusively affects motor neurons without involving sensory neurons. Even if identified early, there are currently no specific medications to cure this disease; treatment can only be symptomatic and rehabilitative. Such approaches can alleviate symptoms. When symptoms are initially mild, medication can only slow down its progression but cannot cure it. The condition inevitably worsens gradually. Rehabilitative treatment can help reduce symptoms or delay the progression of the disease.
