Recent evidence shows that integrated neuropalliative care-early collaboration between neurology and palliative services with community support-improves quality of life and reduces avoidable hospitalisations. Yet there are few descriptions of how such integration is operationalised.<h4>Objective</h4>This study examines a Community-Integrated Neuropalliative Pathway (CINP) implemented in the province of Modena (Emilia-Romagna, Italy), analysing how neurology, palliative care and emergency services collaborate to provide continuous, person-centred care for people wiBrain sciences1294https://www.ebi.ac.uk/biostudies/studies/S-EPMC12730195biostudies-literatureIntegrating Neurology, Palliative Care and Emergency Services in ALS: A Community-Integrated Neuropalliative Pathway in Modena, Italy.PMC12730195Canalini AMora FCostantini LBaraldi MMartucci GVacondio PBonilauri SCfalseIntegrating Neurology, Palliative Care and Emergency Services in ALS: A Community-Integrated Neuropalliative Pathway in Modena, Italy.<h4>Background</h4>Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that causes severe motor, respiratory and communication impairment and imposes a high psychosocial burden on patients and families.
