The condition known as ALS, or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, affects the nerve cells in your brain and spinal cord. No known Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) Treatment exists. But medical professionals do have procedures and therapies that can lessen or delay the onset of symptoms in you or a loved one. In an effort to understand the disease's causes and potential novel treatments, researchers are still researching ALS. It is frequently referred to as Lou Gehrig's disease, named after the baseball player whose diagnosis and eventual demise made the illness extremely well-known.
The nerves in your body that govern mobility are killed by this disorder. You lose control of your muscles when those nerves deteriorate. You lose your ability to move, speak, swallow, and finally, breathe as the illness progresses. Approximately 1 in 25,000 people will be given an ALS diagnosis. Most of them pass away between two and five years after their diagnoses, frequently from respiratory failure. However, only a small percentage of people with ALS—about 5%—have been able to live for 20 years or longer.
