For more than 140 years that the disease was first described by the French neurologist Jean-Martin Charcot, but today still lacks an effective therapy for its treatment. The only drug currently authorized for ALS is riluzole (Rilutek ) that have proven to be scarce and insufficient benefits that lengthen the life of the patient 2 to 3 months.

This is why it is so important to encourage the research and clinical trials in patients with drugs that have demonstrated efficacy and safety, and that could be beneficial, with neurotrophic factors (substances that promote neuronal survival as well as axon regeneration) or with stem cells.

There are No treatments in the and.l.to have a cure, but if there are many palliative, in which therapies are kinesiologicas, treatments with physical therapy, assistance, psychological therapy, occupational therapy.
There are also medications which has seen improvements, but only within the first 10 to 18 months, which is the riluzole but which has a symptoms adverse for the liver as it is a drug very strong, now last passed the edavarona which is used in a treatment for the first few months from which is detected the person, but still not tested for its efficacy to extinguish and cure als, they are only treatments to lead a better quality of life and delay symptoms.

Up to now there is a drug rilutek or riluzole-this slows a little the symptoms of the disease to not be so aggressive, but it depends on each organism reacts to the substance. In some organisms, it works more quickly and in others it is more slow progress.
