What is ALS?
ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease, is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder that affects nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord. The disease leads to muscle weakness, twitching, and eventually to paralysis, making it hard for the person to move, speak, eat, and breathe. ALS is a fatal illness, and there is currently no cure.
Traditional Treatment Options
Traditionally, treatment options for ALS include medications that can slow the progression of the disease and physical therapy to maintain muscle strength and function as long as possible. However, these treatments do not address the underlying cause of the disease, and they only provide symptomatic relief.
Enter Ketamine
Ketamine is a medication that is primarily used as an anesthetic and pain reliever. It is also being studied for its potential to treat a variety of neurological and psychiatric conditions. Recent studies have shown that ketamine may be effective in treating ALS by slowing down the degeneration of nerve cells and preserving muscle function. Ketamine has been shown to have neuroprotective properties, which may help to prevent the destruction of nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord.
