Las enfermedades neurodegenerativas afectan varias actividades que el cuerpo realiza, como el equilibrio, movimiento, hablar, respirar y funciones del corazón. Muchas de estas enfermedades son genéticas. Las causas pueden ser alcoholismo, un tumor o un ataque cerebrovascular (ACV). Otras causas incluyen toxinas, químicos y virus. Otras veces, las causas se desconocen.
Algunas enfermedades neurodegenerativas son:
- Enfermedad de Alzheimer
- Esclerosis lateral amiotrófica
- Ataxia de Friedreich
- Enfermedad de Huntington
- Demencia con cuerpos de Lewy
- Enfermedad de Parkinson
- Atrofia muscular espinal
Las enfermedades neurodegenerativas pueden ser serias o poner la vida en peligro. Depende del tipo. La mayoría de ellas no tiene cura. El tratamiento puede ayudar a mejorar los síntomas, aliviar el dolor y aumentar la movilidad.

Degenerative nerve diseases affect many of your body's activities, such as balance, movement, talking, breathing, and heart function. Many of these diseases are genetic. Sometimes the cause is a medical condition such as alcoholism, a tumor, or a stroke. Other causes may include toxins, chemicals, and viruses. Sometimes the cause is not known.
Degenerative nerve diseases include
- Alzheimer's disease
- Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis
- Friedreich's ataxia
- Huntington's disease
- Lewy body disease
- Parkinson's disease
- Spinal muscular atrophy
Degenerative nerve diseases can be serious or life-threatening. It depends on the type. Most of them have no cure. Treatments may help improve symptoms, relieve pain, and increase mobility.
