Management

While there is no cure for Huntington’s disease, there are treatments and strategies available to help manage the symptoms and improve quality of life. Medications can be used to help control the movement and psychiatric symptoms of the disease. Physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech therapy can also be beneficial in maintaining mobility, independence, and communication skills. 

Counselling and support groups can provide emotional support and practical advice for both individuals with Huntington’s disease and their families. 

In some cases, genetic counselling and testing may be recommended to help individuals understand their risk of developing the disease and make informed decisions about family planning.
