Palliative care is a team-based approach focusing on relief of physical, psychosocial, and existential distress and communication about serious illness. Patients with poliomyelitis and postpolio syndrome are at risk for contractures and can benefit from involvement of physical and occupational therapy. Hypersialorrhea can be treated with anticholinergic medications, botox, or radiation. Patients with dyspnea may require noninvasive positive pressure ventilation ± opioids or benzodiazepines. Constipation is often due to autonomic dysfunction and decreased mobility. There is a higher burden of anxiety. Early conversations about patients’ goals and values as it relates to their health may help frame future decision-making.
