Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Treatment Market

Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) Treatment Market: Introduction

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis is also called Lou Gehrig’s disease or motor neuron disease. It distresses the nerves situated in the brain & spinal cord, which control the muscles. In this disease, the brain functions get impaired, i.e. it cannot transmit messages to the muscles, and as the muscles do not get any signals, they become weak. ALS is inherited by 5% to 10% of the population.

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis has several types of symptoms that differ from person to person, depending on the level of concern. Symptoms include weakness in the legs, feet, and ankles; inappropriate crying, laughter, and yelling; changes in cognitive behavior; muscle cramps; arm, shoulder, and tongue cramps; weakness and clumsiness; trips and falls. The disease could also cause complications such as breathing problems, sleep problems, dietary problems, and dementia.

ALS could be diagnosed by various tests such as electromyography, a nerve conduction study, magnetic resonance imaging, blood & urine tests, and muscle biopsy
