AANEM Endorses AAN Guidelines on ALS

The AAN announced the publication of two new evidence-based guidelines on caring for patients with ALS today. The AANEM endorsed both documents in advance of their publication in the journal Neurology

The first guideline addresses drug, nutritional, and respiratory therapies. The second guideline examines the benefits of multidisciplinary care, symptom management, and cognitive/behavioral impairment.  Additional resources, including two clinician summaries, two patient summaries, a slide presentation, a clinical example, and a podcast, were also created for the guidelines
