What does the treatment of motor neuron diseases focus on?
There are few specific treatments for motor neuron diseases, and efforts focus on reducing the symptoms of muscle spasm and pain while maintaining the highest practical level of overall health
How are motor neuron diseases diagnosed?
often based upon symptoms and exclusion of other neurological diseases. Nerve conduction studies can help distinguish some forms of peripheral neuropathy from motor neuron disease
What does recovery from motor neuron diseases depend on?
Recovery from motor neuron diseases depends on the type of disease and the amount of muscle degeneration present
What are motor neuron diseases?
Motor neuron diseases are a group of neurological conditions that affect the nerve cells responsible for controlling voluntary muscle movements. Examples include amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and spinal muscular atrophy. These diseases can lead to muscle weakness, atrophy, and eventually loss of motor function.
What are some of the better known motor neuron diseases?
Some of the better known motor neuron diseases include amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), also known as Lou Gehrig's disease, spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), and primary lateral sclerosis (PLS). These diseases affect the motor neurons in the brain and spinal cord, leading to muscle weakness, atrophy, and impaired movement.

Is epilepsy one of the motor neuron diseases?
Epilepsy is not a motor neuron disease. It is not even considered a disease, but a condition. Epilepsy has various forms and has all sorts of causes. Everyone who has Epilepsy is different.
How does muscle weakness affect patient motor neuron diseases with?
Muscles of the legs are most often affected, leading to clumsiness, unstable gait, or lower limb paralysis. Muscle cramps and fasciculations (twitching) occur with most motor neuron diseases. Facial muscles may also be affected
