The authors review the guideline on motor neurone disease published earlier in 2016 by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE). They welcome the focus on symptomatic management and the use of data extrapolated from interventions in other neurological conditions, noting that ‘such a common sense approach is particularly helpful in these times of austerity’.
