Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (Lou
Gehrig’s Disease)
Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, also
known as Lou Gehrig’s disease, is a
neurological disease that attacks
the body’s nerve cells. These nerve
cells are responsible for controlling
the voluntary muscles in the body,
such as the arms, legs, and face..
Symptoms of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS)
Degeneration occurs in both the upper and lower motor
neurons, resulting in these neurons being unable to send
messages to the muscles. This causes the muscles to weaken
and waste away, experiencing fine twitches known as
fasciculations.
Eventually, the brain will no longer be able to start and control the body’s
voluntary movements. Control of the eye muscles, bladder, and bowel
functions are not harmed as ALS does not affect people’s ability to see or
go to the washroom.
Studies found that patients with ALS suffer from depression or
impaired cognitive functions, such as decision-making and memory.
This disease can happen randomly, or be inherited. About 90 to 95%
of ALS cases occurred randomly with no clear risk factors associated,
leaving the remaining 5 to 10% of cases to be inherited by a family
gene.
Treatments for ALS
Treatments for ALS include the first drug treatment for ALS called
riluzole, released in 1995. This helps to reduce damage of the motor
neurons by decreasing the release of glutamate.
