ALS (AMYOTROPHIC LATERAL SCLEROSIS)

ALS Treatment in Dubai

ALS, or Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, is a progressive neurological disease that causes muscle weakness and gradual movement loss. At King’s College Hospital London in Dubai, we focus on early diagnosis, controlling symptoms and helping patients maintain their quality of life.

At King’s College Hospital Dubai, our team supports patients with a well-organized, team-based approach.

What does ALS care involve?

ALS care is built around managing symptoms and helping patients stay as independent and comfortable as possible over time. While the condition progresses differently for each person, the focus is on regular review, adjusting treatment when needed, and supporting day-to-day function.

Over time, support may expand to include nutrition, mobility, and respiratory care, depending on what’s needed.

When should you see us?

It’s worth seeing a neurologist if symptoms are changing or becoming more noticeable over time. Early assessment can help clarify what’s happening and guide the next steps.

You may want to seek advice if you’ve noticed:

• Muscle weakness that is gradually getting worse
• Changes in speech or difficulty swallowing
• Muscle twitching or persistent cramps
• Difficulty with everyday tasks that require fine movement

How is ALS managed step by step?

Care usually follows a clear pathway, but it is always adapted to the individual.

1. Neurological assessment and initial testing
2. Diagnosis based on clinical findings
3. A care plan with medication and supportive therapies
4. Follow-up to monitor progression and adjust treatment
5. Support for mobility, breathing, and nutrition as required
