Effects of the early diagnosis of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis on the patient: advantages

Pages S73-S74 | Published online: 10 Jul 2009
 

Abstract

Advantages of early diagnoses in amyo- trophic lateral sclerosis include validation of symptoms, avoidance of unnecessary procedures, enhanced preparation for disability and medical education. Most importantly, earlier in the course of the disease—while there is a greater motor neuron pool survival—diagnosis would enable earlier treatment intervention. (ALS 2000; 1 (suppl 1): S73–S74).
