Jelaskan Diagnosis dari Penyakit motor neuron dalam bahasa melayu

The diagnosis of MND is a clinical one, established by a neurologist on the basis of history and neurological examination. There is tiada diagnostic test for MND. Investigations such as blood tests, electromyography (EMG), magnetic resonance imaging  (MRI), and sometimes genetic testing are useful to rule out other disorders that may mimic MND. However, the diagnosis of MND remains a clinical one. Having excluded other diseases, a relatively rapid progression of symptoms is a strong diagnostic factor. Although an individual's progression may sometimes "plateau", it will not improve.

A set of diagnostic criteria called the El Escorial criteria have been defined by the World Federation of Neurologists for use in research, particularly as inclusion/exclusion criteria for clinical trials. Owing to a lack of clinical diagnostic criteria, some neurologists use the El Escorial criteria during the diagnostic process, although strictly speaking this is functionality creep, and some have questioned the appropriateness of the criteria in a clinical setting.

It is possible that Transcranial magnetic stimulation can be used to diagnose MND.
