End of life neurological care

End-of-life neurological care focuses on supporting individuals with serious neurological conditions as they approach the final stages of life. It emphasizes managing symptoms like pain, difficulty breathing, or agitation, while respecting the patient’s dignity and wishes. This care may include medications, comfort measures, and emotional support for both patients and families. The goal is to improve quality of life, reduce suffering, and ensure a peaceful, compassionate transition, often involving interdisciplinary teams working together to tailor care to each person’s needs and values.
