ABSTRACT
Introduction: In recent months, the emergence of SARS-CoV-2 as a global pandemic has caused a devastating impact on health worldwide. Health systems have been overwhelmed, and the follow-up of those patients who require continuous monitoring and evaluation, such as Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), have been negatively affected. Material and method: A search of the current literature has been carried out to determine the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on the quality of life of patients diagnosed with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and their family. Results: The diagnosis, treatment, follow-up and home care of these patients have been modified, adapting them as much as possible to the technology and available resources to try to minimize the loss of quality of life of patients diagnosed with Sclerosis Amyotrophic lateral and ensuring comprehensive care. Conclusion: Despite numerous efforts and advances in research, both in the case of ALS and COVID- 19, there is still a long way to go. © COPYRIGHT Servicio de Publicaciones - Universidad de Murcia
