What is ALS and what are the symptoms and causes? - The progressive neurodegenerative disease Eric Dane had affects nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord
ALS, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, also known as Lou Gerhig’s disease, is a form of Motor Neurone Disease. It is a rare condition that progressively kills motor neurons in the brain and spine, the cells that control muscle movement. Over time, patients slowly lose their ability to speak, eat, walk and eventually breathe independently.
Eric Dane’s death from ALS highlights symptoms, diagnosis, risk factors, treatment options, and the urgent need for research in motor neuron disease.

A phase II study shows that the sodium channel blocker mexiletine has no specific safety concerns in patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and, moreover, markedly reduces muscle cramps. "While it remains of uncertain benefit in regard to ...
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a degenerative neurological disorder that involves the death of nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord. This, over time, leads to the brain losing its ability to control voluntary movements, resulting in symptoms ...
