Motor Neurone Disease Symptoms

Motor Neurone Disease affects the motor nerves in the brain and spinal cord, gradually reducing the ability to move, speak and carry out everyday activities. Although every person’s experience is different, common symptoms may include:

  • Muscle weakness, stiffness or twitching

  • Difficulty speaking or swallowing

  • Changes in mobility or coordination

  • Increasing fatigue

  • Challenges with daily tasks such as eating, dressing or writing

  • Emotional changes such as anxiety or low mood

Early recognition and consistent, specialist support can improve comfort, reduce stress and help individuals maintain quality of life at home for as long as possible.

There is currently no cure for MND, but the right combination of symptom management, palliative care and lifestyle support can make a meaningful difference.

  • Medication routines and pain-management support

  • Nutritional guidance and assistance with eating and hydration

  • Safe mobility support and positioning to reduce discomfort

Frequently Asked Questions

What causes Motor Neurone Disease?

The exact cause of MND is still unknown. Research suggests that a combination of genetic and environmental factors may contribute. Certain gene mutations, exposure to toxins and viral triggers have been identified in some cases, although most diagnoses occur without a clear cause.

Can Motor Neurone Disease be prevented?

There is no known way to fully prevent MND. However, maintaining a healthy lifestyle — including balanced nutrition, regular activity, reduced stress and avoiding exposure to harmful toxins — may support overall neurological health.

Is Motor Neurone Disease hereditary?

In most cases, MND is not inherited. A small percentage of diagnoses are linked to genetic mutations that run in families, but the majority of people with MND have no family history of the condition. Research is ongoing to better understand the hereditary role.
