How does Dr. Li Juncai treat ALS?

ALS is known as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, which is a motor neuron disease that can cause gradual muscle weakness and muscle atrophy, and can even affect the patient's respiratory muscles and cause the patient to suffocate to death. Generally speaking, the most important approach to this disease is the following two aspects.

1. Drugs**. ALS medications** need to be given early. At present, drugs that have been approved for ALS include Wan Quantai and so on, which should be paid attention to by patients.

In addition, ALS is still a relatively long process, and patients should pay attention to actively cooperate with doctors.

2、****。We know that people with ALS gradually atrophy and weaken their muscles. To delay the onset of this symptom, the patient may undergo appropriate ****.

That is, by making a plan to train the patient's muscles purposefully, so as to help the patient relieve the symptoms.

Through the above detailed description of the method of ALS, we can know that the method of ALS, a progressive disease, mainly includes two aspects, namely drugs and drugs. Among them, the drug needs to be used at an early stage, and the drug is mainly aimed at the patient's muscle atrophy, which should be paid attention to by the patient.

**。Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis is still a non-progressive disease, but there are many ways to improve the quality of life of patients under the guidance of a medical professional. The factors of this disease are diverse and mutually influential, so it must be a combination of multiple methods.

It is unrealistic to expect to completely block the progression of the disease with a single drug or a single species**.

**Cycle. Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis is not yet available, but can only be sustained for a long time, to improve the patient's symptoms as much as possible and improve the patient's quality of life.

Drugs**. Riluzole.

Riluzole has the effect of inhibiting glutamate release, which can delay the course of the disease and prolong the survival of patients with bulbar palsy. Sometimes nausea, vomiting and other adverse reactions occur, and it is forbidden for women with severe liver disease, pregnancy, and lactation.

Edaravone. This free radical scavenger improves nervous system function and slows the effects of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis on patients' daily activities. There may be adverse reactions such as abnormal liver function and rash.

Other**. Psychology**.

Most of the patients need professional care due to the decline in the quality of life due to muscle weakness and disease, and many patients are often depressed, so psychological counseling is given.

**Training. Many patients will have progressive worsening muscle weakness, muscle atrophy, and increased muscle tone, which in turn will lead to joint tonic contractures, and the quality of life can be improved through physiotherapy training.

Other**. The current development directions include anti-excitatory amino acid toxicity, neurotrophic factors, antioxidant and free radical scavenging, novel calcium channel blockers against apoptosis, genes and neural stem cell transplantation, which are still being studied.
