What is the treatment of anterior horn cell disease?

The treatment of anterior horn cell disease, such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) or spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), primarily focuses on managing symptoms and improving quality of life, as there is no cure. Approaches may include physical therapy to maintain mobility, occupational therapy to assist with daily activities, and respiratory support as needed. Medications like riluzole and edaravone can help slow disease progression in ALS. Supportive care, including nutritional management and psychological support, is also essential.
