Overview

Motor neuron disease (MND) is a group of progressive neurological disorders that affect the nerve cells controlling voluntary muscles. It leads to muscle weakness, stiffness, and eventual paralysis as the nerve cells degenerate and lose their ability to communicate with the muscles. MND encompasses conditions such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), primary lateral sclerosis (PLS), and progressive bulbar palsy (PBP), and while there is currently no cure, treatment focuses on managing symptoms and improving quality of life through medications, therapy, and supportive care.
