The condition is Degenerative, Progressive and has a Fatal outcome. Degeneration of the motor neurones leads to weakness and wasting of muscles, causing increasing loss of mobility in the limbs, and difficulties with speech, swallowing and breathing.

 

There are 4 main Types of MND. They are:

       Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS): This is the most common form, with both upper and lower motor neurone involvement. This form of the disease is characterised by weakness and wasting in the limbs.
       Progressive bulbar palsy (PBP): Affects about a quarter of people diagnosed, and involves both the upper and lower motor neurones. Symptoms may include slurring of speech or difficulty swallowing.
       Progressive muscular atrophy (PMA): Affects only a small proportion of people, mainly causing damage to the lower motor neurones. Early symptoms may be noticed as weakness or clumsiness of the hand.
       Primary lateral sclerosis (PLS): A rare form of MND involving the upper motor neurones only, causing mainly weakness in the lower limbs, although some people may experience clumsiness in the hands or speech problems.

Ayurveda is a time tested System of Healing for more than 5000 Years and has greater responsibility and role to play in Chronic Degenerative Diseases and prophylactic care.

 

Treatment is usually very long in MND and is a “Kasta Sadhya Roga” and Ayurvedic Management surely Arrests the further Degeneration and Prolongs the Life of the Patients.

 

Chikitsa according to Ayurveda is the measures calculated for the removal of Causative Factors and to restore doshic equilibrium. Basically MND is a disease of Vata. Here the Normalcies of Vata like its Gunas & Karmas are being affected. The aim of the Ayurvedic Treatment is to produce Brumhana or Santarpana (Nourishing), Vatahara and Anulomana chikitsa. Panchakarma Procedures & Rejuvenation Therapies are done with utmost Care and Concern.
