Dear Mr Bhattarai
Unfortunately there is no cure for the MND as of today. Symptomatic and supportive treatment can be of help for maintaining quality of life. Riluzole is the only drug as it may prolongs life by 2-3 months. Recently stem cell therapy is being tried as a research modality.
Physical and rehabilitation improve posture, muscle weakness and atrophy, and swallowing difficulties. Proper nutrition and balanced diet are essential.
Good luck and hope for the best
