Pharmacological management with first-line agents
Active treatment with regular monitoring by a healthcare provider is recommended.
Tizanidine Therapy
Alpha-2 adrenergic agonist that reduces spasticity through presynaptic inhibition. May provide benefit for both day and nighttime symptoms with careful dosing.

Home Exercise Program Development
Customized daily exercise routine designed by therapists for independent home management. Includes stretching, strengthening, and balance activities tailored to individual abilities.
lifestyleRespiratory Function Surveillance
Regular monitoring of respiratory capacity as some forms of hereditary spastic paraplegia can affect respiratory muscles. Includes pulmonary function testing and sleep studies when indicated.
monitoringNutritional Optimization
