Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a fatal central nervous system neurodegenerative disease. Despite intense research, current ALS management remains suboptimal, from diagnosis to prognosis. Recognition of ALS phenotypic heterogeneity, global central nervous system dysfunction, genetic architecture, and development of novel diagnostic criteria are clarifying the spectrum of clinical presentation and facilitating diagnosis. Insights into ALS pathophysiology, identification of disease biomarkers and modifiable risks, along with new predictive models, scales, and scoring systems, and a clinical trial pipeline of mechanism-based therapies are changing the prognostic landscape. Although most recent advances have yet to translate to patient benefit, the view of ALS as a complex syndrome is already having tangible effects in the clinic. This review will outline these recent insights and discuss the status of ALS management for the general neurologist, along with future prospects, which may improve care and outcomes for ALS patients.
