No cure for SSPE exists and the condition is often fatal. However, SSPE can be managed by medication if treatment is started at an early stage. Much of the work on SSPE has been performed by the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS).SSPE should not be confused with acute disseminated encephalomyelitis which has a similar etiology but very different timing and course."@en }
