Is There A Cure or Treatment for MND

Is there a cure or treatment for MND? People who are told to be affected with MND may ask frequently the question. Are There Any Alternative Treatments for MND? Today, we are exploring the fact of MND and the best treatment for MND.
MND fact
The motor neuron diseases (MND) are a group of neurological disorders that severely affect motor functions through destroying these motor neuron cells, which control voluntary muscle movements of human body, including speaking, walking, swallowing, breathing, etc. They are progressive diseases, gradually cause disability, and finally lead to death.
Is there a cure or treatment for MND?
In MND, the neural conduction signals will be disrupted due to the damage to the motor neurons, and finally many kinds of motor dysfunctions and loss may occur as it progresses. Patients may experience many problems such as uncontrollable twitching, muscle stiffness, slurred speech, swallowing and even breathing difficulties. These symptoms will greatly affect the life quality and life expectancy of patients.
Is there a cure or treatment for MND? Although there is no identified cure for MND, some medicines and alternative treatments may help relieve the symptoms and slow the progression of MND. Riluzole is the only drug to be licensed for the treatment of MND, but it is not a cure for MND. It can only show a modest impact on survival for people with MND through suppressing glutamate (a chemical messenger in the central nervous system). However, Riluzole can't repair the damage and degeneration of the motor neurons or preventing further progression of the disease, so it shows less effect on many cases in clinic.
What's the Best Treatment for MND
Is there a cure or treatment for MND? Stem cell treatment turns out the most effective therapy for MND. Stem cells can cross the brain-blood barrier and differentiate into new motor neurons to repair the damaged motor neurons and tissues. Stem cell treatment, as cell regeneration, is a great breakthrough of regeneration medicine, which is the most advanced therapy for neurodegenerative diseases.
Usually, after stem cell treatment, patients will get improved with their muscle atrophy, and have better muscle strength and flexibility, besides, their walking, speech, swallowing difficulties will improve to some extent. The most important is that the progression of MND may be slowed. Therefore, the life quality and life span of patients will get significantly improved.
