Frequently Asked Questions
MND is a progressive neurological condition where motor neurones in the brain and spinal cord degenerate, leading to muscle weakness, wasting, and loss of movement over time.
Symptoms include muscle weakness, cramps, twitching, difficulty speaking or swallowing, breathing problems, fatigue, and progressive loss of mobility.
There is currently no cure for MND. Treatment focuses on symptom management, slowing progression where possible, and improving quality of life.
MND is managed using a multidisciplinary team, including neurologists, therapists, nurses, and palliative care, to support physical, emotional, and practical needs.
