There is no treatment for [disease name]; the mainstay of therapy is supportive care.
There is no treatment for [[neurofibromatosis type 1]]; the mainstay of therapy is supportive care. [[Therapy]] for a patient with [[neurofibromatosis type 1]] is aimed at decreasing [[symptoms]] and improving [[quality of life]]. At every [[age]], different problems may develop, so a specific approach is necessary for the age and presentation of the individual. Supportive therapy for [[neurofibromatosis type 1]] includes pain relief, [[psychotherapy]], and [[antidepressants]].

Overview

There is no treatment for neurofibromatosis type 1; the mainstay of therapy is supportive care. Therapy for a patient with neurofibromatosis type 1 is aimed at decreasing symptoms and improving quality of life. At every age, different problems may develop, so a specific approach is necessary for the age and presentation of the individual. Supportive therapy for neurofibromatosis type 1 includes pain relief, psychotherapy, and antidepressants.
