Palliative care in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.
Journal of Neurology 1997 October

Respiratory insufficiency can be treated by non-invasive ventilation at home, provided the familial environment is supportive. Adequate assistance and palliative treatment in the terminal phase is of paramount importance.
