How To Treat Progressive Bulbar Palsy

In-Home Care

Due to the extreme limitations progressive bulbar palsy places on a patient, from eating and communication to mobility, it's often necessary to have an in-home care plan in place. This is especially true when the condition has progressed significantly. Having a carer in the home to assist with basic daily tasks can greatly improve a patient's quality of life and take pressure off a family member, partner, or spouse. Patients will require assistance with moving, establishing a sleep routine, as well as dealing with fatigue, shortness of breath, swelling, and general weakness. Patients with progressive bulbar palsy will become increasingly dependent on another individual as the disease progresses, and it's important to identify and provide the best and most comprehensive aid possible.
