How to treat motor neurone disease

Although the incidence of motor neuron disease is not high, it does not mean that we can ignore the harm of this disease. You must know that if you suffer from this disease, it is basically equivalent to "waiting to die." The reason why it is called motor neuron disease is that after suffering from this disease, it will gradually cause damage to our motor nerves, causing the patient's muscles to gradually atrophy and become weak, making the patient completely unable to move.

Motor neuron disease is also known as "amyotrophic lateral sclerosis", which means that the patient can only watch his or her body gradually become cold and stiff. In the end, the patient will not even be able to breathe and will die. This shows how serious the harm of this disease is. So, how is motor neurone disease treated?

1. Take vitamin E and B vitamins orally.

2. Treatments such as intramuscular injection of coenzyme and intramuscular injection of citicoline can be used intermittently.

3. For muscle spasms, you can use diazepam, taken orally, or chlorpheniramine, taken in divided doses.

4. Some drugs can be tried to treat this disease, such as thyrotropin-releasing hormone, interferon, lecithin, testosterone, cysteine, immunosuppressants and plasma exchange therapy, but their effectiveness is difficult to evaluate.

5. In recent years, with the development of stem cell technology, stem cell therapy has become one of the means to treat this disease, which can alleviate and improve the condition.

6. Massage the affected limb and perform passive movements.

7. Bee acupuncture therapy, using the bee's tail sting to sting the acupuncture points can achieve certain therapeutic effects.

8. For those with dysphagia, nasogastric feeding should be used to maintain nutrition and water intake.

9. For patients with respiratory muscle paralysis, breathing should be assisted by a ventilator.

Taking medicine is not the best choice for treating motor neurone disease, because it can only temporarily control the disease. Once the medicine is stopped, the symptoms will reappear or even become more serious. At the same time, taking medication all year round not only makes patients suffer, but also causes great harm to the body and leads to complications of other serious diseases. The fundamental reason is that the drug does not have the function of activating muscle nerve cells, so it cannot fundamentally treat motor neuron disease. It can be seen that taking medicine to treat motor neuron disease cannot achieve the purpose of cure.

In other words, knowing how to treat motor neuron disease will not help people get rid of the troubles of the disease. It is better to prevent motor neuron disease early and give the disease no chance to take advantage, so as to protect your own health. When it comes to preventing motor neuron disease, the best way is to have regular physical examinations and pay attention to physical exercise in daily life.
