肌萎缩性侧索硬化症 & Neurodegenerative Disease Center

加州大学旧金山分校肌萎缩性侧索硬化症 & Neurodegenerative Disease Center provides comprehensive care for patients with progressive diseases in which nervous system cells lose function. 的se conditions include motor neuron diseases such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (肌萎缩性侧索硬化症), also known as Lou Gehrig's disease.

肌萎缩性侧索硬化症 attacks nerve cells and pathways in the brain and spinal cord, causing the body's motor neurons to waste away. 的 result is increasing muscle weakness and lack of coordination, leading to difficulty with mobility, 说话, swallowing and breathing. Proper treatment can help control symptoms and allow patients to maintain more independence in their daily lives.

Our 肌萎缩性侧索硬化症 team is made up of specialists in many fields, including neurology; pulmonology; gastroenterology; diet and nutrition; communication; social work; and occupational, 物理, speech and respiratory therapies. Our patients also have access to an orthotist, a specialist in braces and other devices to support weak muscles and joints. Representatives from local patient advocacy organizations offer support as well.

With all of us working together, we provide comprehensive care that's as effective as possible for each patient. Our patients may also be eligible to participate in clinical trials, studies to test promising new medications or other types of treatment.

Our program has been named a certified treatment center of excellence by 渐冻症协会. 我们是 UCSF Weill Institute for Neurosciences.
