Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) Book Description

Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis: An AAN Press Quality of Life Guide
By Robert G. Miller, MD, Deborah Gelinas, MD, and Patricia O'Connor, RN

ALS is not a curable disease, but it is a treatable one. Treatments are now available that can make a major difference in prolonging life and enhancing the quality of life for people with the disease, and there are treatments for many of the symptoms of ALS that can help ease its burden. Multidisciplinary teams in specialized ALS centers are providing top quality care and comprehensive rehabilitation for persons with ALS.

The information in this book, coauthored by experts from the Forbes Norris MDA/ALS Research Center in San Francisco, will prove a vital resource to people with ALS and their families both in managing the disease and living within its limitations. 246 pages.
