Understanding Motor neuron disease (MND)
  • Also known as Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis
    (ALS), it is a rare neurodegenerative disease.
  • MND occurs when specialized nerve cells in the
    brain and spinal cord, called motor neurons, stop
    working properly.
  • Motor Neuron diseases are a rare but severe form
    of neurodegenerative disease.
  • It cause the motor nerves in the spine and brain
    to lose function over a span of time
  • The two main types of motor neurons are upper
    motor neurons (UMN) and lower motor neurons (LMN)

3
Motor Neuron Disease Symptoms
  • The symptoms are divided into three stages
    early, middle and advanced.
  • Signs and symptoms in the early stage
  • Weakened grip, making it difficult to hold and
    pick up objects
  • Muscle pain, cramps, and twitching
  • Weakness in arms and legs, leading to clumsiness
    and stumbling
  • Fatigue
  • Slurred speech and difficulty swallowing
  • Breathing trouble
  • Weight loss due to loss of muscle mass
  • Inappropriate emotional responses

4
  • Signs and symptoms in the middle stage
  • Shrinking of muscles
  • Joint pain
  • Difficulty in movement
  • Drooling and problems with swallowing
  • Difficulty breathing
  • Changes in personality and emotional states
  • Memory and language problems

5
  • Signs and symptoms in the advanced stage
  • Little or no movement
  • Trouble talking and swallowing
  • Severe breathing problems
  • May develop dementia
  • Some people may also experience insomnia,
    anxiety, and depression

6
MND Diagnosis
  • A neurologist examines the person thoroughly by
    running a series of tests before determining MND,
    some of which are
  • Blood and urine tests
  • MRI scan
  • EMG (electromyography) and NCS (nerve conduction
    study)
  • Muscle biopsy
  • Lumbar puncture or spinal tap

7
MND Treatment
  • The condition of the prognosis varies, depending
    on the patients type of MND and the age of
    symptom onset
  • Supportive and symptomatic treatment can surely
    help
  • One can take assistance from multidisciplinary
    clinics consisting of specialists from varied
    departments such as
  • physical therapy
  • speech therapy
  • occupational therapy
  • respiratory therapy
  • neurology

Stem cell therapy for MND
  • Stem Cell Therapy is a potent approach for
    treating MND and its vitalizing effects, both
    paracrine and somatic
  • This treatment helps to improve the repairing
    mechanism of diseased, dysfunctional, or injured
    tissue with the help of stem cells
  • It is proven to mitigate symptoms, slow the
    progression of the disease, improve the quality
    of life and increase survival
  • The beneficial effects of this therapy do not
    just affect the cells, but are also beneficial to
    trophic interventions
  • It mitigates the symptoms of traumatic injuries,
    autoimmune, inflammatory, neurological, and
    orthopedic diseases
  • It helps to reduce inflammation and delay
    progression
