    MND can manifest as weakness and atrophy of the limbs, clumsiness and weakness of finger movements, muscle weakness and atrophy over the course of the disease, extending to the trunk and neck, and finally involving the facial and throat muscles. Patients may have bulbar paralysis, mostly in the late stage, the tongue muscles are first involved, manifested as tongue muscle atrophy, fasciculation, and tongue protrusion weakness, followed by pharyngeal, laryngeal, and masticatory muscle atrophy and weakness, resulting in the patient's slurred arthria, dysphagia, chewing weakness, and the orbicularis oculi muscle in the facial muscle is more obviously involved. There is often a pattern of disease progression in MND, usually from the upper extremity that is first affected, then to the contralateral upper extremity, to the ipsilateral lower extremity, to the contralateral lower extremity, and finally to the bulb involvement.

    Motor neuron disease can be life-threatening, mostly within 3 to 5 years, death from respiratory muscle paralysis or lung infection, so motor neuron disease is more harmful. You can come to Beijing Renxuan Traditional Chinese Medicine to find Sheng Jinqiangfu**, and through one-to-one conditioning of Yiyuan Muscle Formula, the patient's symptoms can be improved.

    1. Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis: The common first symptom is clumsiness and weakness of one or both fingers, followed by atrophy of small finger muscles, which gradually develops to the muscles of the forearm, upper arm and shoulder. As the disease progresses, muscle weakness and atrophy extend to the trunk and neck, and eventually to the facial and laryngeal muscles.

    In a few cases, muscle atrophy and weakness begin in the lower extremities or trunk. Fasciculations are often evident in the affected area.

    2. Progressive amyotrophy: The common first symptom is atrophy and weakness of small muscles in one or both hands, which gradually affects the muscles of the forearm, upper arm and shoulder. Affected muscles are markedly atrophied, muscle tone is reduced, and muscle tremors may be seen.

    3. Progressive bulbar paralysis: the main manifestations are progressive slurred articulation, dysphagia, choking on drinking water, and weakness in chewing. The tongue muscles are obviously atrophied, and there are fasciculations, and the lip muscles and throat muscles are atrophied.

    This type of disease progresses rapidly, and most of them die within 1 to 2 years due to respiratory muscle paralysis or lung infection.

    4. Primary lateral sclerosis: the common first symptom is symmetrical stiffness and fatigue of both lower limbs, and walking with a scissor gait. Progresses slowly and gradually affects both upper extremities. There is usually no muscle atrophy and fasciculations, and no sensory deficits. This type progresses slowly and can survive for a long time.

    Motor neurons are neurons that are responsible for transmitting messages from the spinal cord and brain to the muscles and endocrine glands that innervate organ activity. Motor neuron disease (MND) is a rare disease that is a series of chronic progressive neurodegenerative diseases characterized by motor neuron changes. At present, the cause of the disease is not clear, and patients present with muscle weakness, muscle atrophy, bulbar paralysis, etc., and usually have no paresthesias.

    The disease mostly occurs in middle-aged and elderly people, and the course of the disease is mostly 2 to 6 years, and most of them have a poor prognosis, and often die of respiratory muscle paralysis or lung infection due to respiratory muscle involvement.

    There is still a lack of drugs that can effectively reverse or control the progression of the disease. The motor neuron disease pathogen is diverse and affects each other, so it must be a combination of multiple methods. The ** of motor neuron disease includes **, symptomatic ** and various non-pharmacos**.

    At present, there is no specific diet to avoid for MND, and a balanced diet is sufficient.

    The nursing of patients with motor neuron disease should always pay attention to the nutritional status, swallowing function and respiratory status of the patients, care about the psychological status of the patients, keep the environment clean and tidy, and reduce the occurrence of complications.

    Take the drug according to the doctor's instructions, understand the possible adverse reactions of the drug, and regularly review the blood routine and liver and kidney function during the medication.

    Depending on their condition, patients should do some appropriate exercises under the guidance of a doctor.

    For patients who have been bedridden for a long time, the surrounding environment should be kept clean and tidy, and family members or nursing staff should help patients turn over, pat their backs, massage, and scrub on time every day to reduce the occurrence of complications such as infections and bedsores.

    Patients with dysphagia should slow down their eating and try to avoid aspiration.

    Motor neuron is also known as ALS, as the name of the disease suggests, patients will gradually appear as if they are "frozen", and the patient will gradually develop from limb weakness to muscle atrophy; The limbs gradually develop from the hands and feet, and eventually to the torso. Patients may experience dyspnea, dysphagia, and most eventually die of paralysis of the respiratory muscles. At present, Western medicine does not have a good method for motor neurons, but there is no way for motor neurons, and choosing the right professional method as soon as possible plays a vital role in motor neurons.

    Motor neuron is an incurable disease, and the most important thing is to treat the symptoms**, so that it will slowly recover.

    Motor neuron disease is a neurodegenerative disease that primarily affects the motor system and not the sensory system. Motor neuron disease (MND) also invades upper and lower motor neurons, and often begins with weakness of the small muscles in one hand, accompanied by atrophy, and gradually progresses to other limbs, eventually affecting the respiratory and swallowing muscles, causing dyspnea and swallowing.

    Motor neuron disease often progressively worsens, the course of the disease is about 3-5 years, you can come to Beijing Renxuan TCM to find Sheng Jinqiangfu**, through Yiyuan Muscle Formula one-to-one conditioning, can improve the patient's symptoms.

The early stage of motor neuron disease is characterized by gradual muscle atrophy and weakness in one part of the patient's body, and many diseases have similar clinical manifestations in the early stage, and the age of onset of this disease is between 40 and 60 years old, which is also the stage of high incidence of cervical spondylosis. Many patients with cervical spondylosis can also have unilateral limb muscle atrophy and weakness in the early stage, so many patients mistakenly believe that it is cervical spondylosis, delaying the diagnosis. There is no difficulty in an advanced ALS person, and the diagnosis can be made by simply taking clinical data, but the difficulty in the examination of motor neuron disease is when it is atypical in the early stage, and it may be difficult to determine that it is an area of disease if there is no experience. >>>More
