Motor Neurone Disease usually gets progressively worse after five to ten years, but the specifics depend on the rate of progression of the disease.
Motor Neurone Disease is a chronic neurological disorder that progresses with age, and in severe cases it can invade the cells of the spinal cord, the brain stem, and the brain’s pyramidal cells, and may cause life-threatening respiratory distress. Clinically, the survival rate for the disease is currently thought to be around five years.
However, there are several types of motor neuron disease with different survival rates, some of which evolve relatively quickly while others more slowly, with the average survival time of patients being around five years.
Although it is difficult to cure motor neuron disease completely, if it is detected in time and treated effectively, it may be possible to achieve a certain degree of remission and maximize the patient’s life cycle.
