Abstract
Editorial: Palliative Care in Neurology
Highlights
The role of palliative care for people with progressive neurological disease has been increasingly discussed over the last 20 years [1,2,3]
More recently a palliative care approach found its way to diseases such as high-grade glioma of which the course is relentlessly progressive like in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), Parkinson’s disease (PD), and multiple sclerosis (MS)
The European Academy of Neurology (EAN), in collaboration with the European Association for Palliative Care (EAPC) have produced a Consensus paper on neurological palliative care, which outlines the need for a wider assessment of patients—physical, psychological, social and spiritual, and including consideration of end of life care and discussion of hastened death [3]
Summary
The role of palliative care for people with progressive neurological disease has been increasingly discussed over the last 20 years [1,2,3]. This Research Topic has aimed to look at new developments in the palliative care of patients with neurological disease and the editors were heartened by the response and the papers submitted.
