Management of neurological symptoms in Palliative care

Managing neurological symptoms in palliative care involves relieving issues like headache, confusion, weakness, or seizures to improve quality of life. This is done through medications such as pain relievers, anticonvulsants, or sedatives, tailored to the patient's needs. Non-drug approaches like positioning, gentle stimulation, and emotional support also help. The goal is to reduce discomfort, minimize distress, and support mental and physical well-being, respecting the patient's preferences and goals of care. Overall, it’s about providing comfort and dignity for individuals facing serious neurological symptoms.
