Overview of Symptom Management in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis

Abstract

Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is a progressive motor neuron disease with an average survival of 2–5 years. The treatments applied only help slow the progression of the disease. Due to this deficiency in treatment, multidisciplinary symptom-based management of ALS in clinics continues to be the most important current treatment strategy for the patient. In this sense, nurses play a critical role in the clinical management of ALS in controlling the team's activities, facilitating treatment, guiding family members in conscious care practices, and in the end-of-life support phase.

Amyotrofik Lateral Sklerozda Semptom Yönetimine Genel Bakış

Abstract

Amyotrofik Lateral Skleroz (ALS), ortalama 2–5 yıl sağkalım gösteren ilerleyici bir motor nöron hastalığıdır. Uygulanan tedaviler sadece hastalığın ilerlemesini yavaşlatmaya yardımcı olmaktadır. Tedavideki bu eksiklikten dolayı ALS'nin kliniklerde multidisipliner semptom temelli yönetimi, hasta için en önemli güncel tedavi stratejisi olmaya devam etmektedir. Bu anlamda hemşireler ALS'nin klinik yönetiminde ekibin faaliyetlerini kontrol etmede, tedaviyi kolaylaştırmada, aile üyelerine bilinçli bakım uygulamalarında rehberlik etmede ve yaşam sonu destek aşamasında kritik bir rol oynar.
