Hospice and Palliative Medicine
Palliative care provides specialized support for patients dealing with serious neurological illnesses like dementia, Parkinson's disease, ALS, multiple sclerosis, and stroke. This type of care can benefit patients at any age and any stage of neurological disease. It can be delivered alongside curative treatments when appropriate.
Palliative neurology care focuses on managing symptoms and reducing stress to improve quality of life for patients and families. It takes a holistic approach, addressing physical needs like pain management along with emotional, social, and spiritual aspects of living with a neurological disease.
A collaborative team including neurologists, nurses, social workers, and others work together to provide an extra layer of support. The goal is to enhance comfort, dignity, and well-being when facing progressive or debilitating neurological conditions.
