Huntington's Disease

Treatment

The treatment of HD patients requires an integrated, multidisciplinary approach including symptomatic and supportive medical management; psychosocial support; physical, occupational, or speech therapy; genetic counseling; or additional supportive services. No treatment is currently available that slows, alters, or reverses the disease's progression. However, careful attention to changes in a patient's condition may help to prevent or minimize certain complications associated with disease progression and improve overall quality of life.
