Influence of Olfacto-gustatory Sensoriality on the Nutritional Status of Patients With Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a neurodegenerative disease characterised by progressive diffuse muscular paralysis due to the inexorable loss of motor neurons in the primary motor cortex, the corticospinal tract, the brain stem and the spinal cord. Over the course of the disease, when the phrenic motor neurons are involved, …
HD-tDCS in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis: A Multicenter Randomized Controlled Trial
Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is a nervous system disease that causes muscle weakness and rapidly progresses to the loss of mobility and functionality. Studies suggest that High-Definition Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (HD-tDCS) is a technique for modulating motor cortical hyperexcitability. However, evidence on the use of HD-tDCS as a neuromodulator …
Multicenter ALS Imaging Study
This is a multi-site study of ALS participants and healthy controls who will undergo brain and cervical spine MRIs and NfL blood testing at up-to 4 time points over the course of a year. The primary goal is to identify objective biomarkers of disease progression that are biologically relevant, linearly …
Structural and Functional Networks in ALS: An Insight Into Pseudobulbar Affect
The investigators aim to elucidate characteristics of structural and functional brain connectivity in patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and pseudobulbar affect (PBA) using diffusion kurtosis imaging (DKI) and magnetoencephalography (MEG).
Evaluation of the Reproducibility of a Fatigability Test Fitted to Patients With Spinal Muscular Atrophy
Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is an autosomal recessive neuromuscular disease caused by the degeneration of motor neurons in the anterior horn of the spinal cord, due to the absence of the SMN1 gene and the resulting lack of SMN protein. Some patients with particularly severe forms (types 0 or 1) …
Active NBS Study: Decentralised Monitoring Motor Development in Children With Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy or Spinal Muscular Atrophy Identified by Newborn Screening
The Active NBS Liege study is a monocentric, academic, fully remote, observational study designed to validate digital measures of motor development in children with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) or Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) identified through newborn screening, family testing, or incidental diagnosis. The study will enroll 100 children and follow …
Impact of Physical Functioning on Patient-Reported Outcomes in ALS Patients at TidalHealth
Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is a fatal neurodegenerative disease in which motor neuron cells of the brain and spinal cord progressively degenerate and die. There is currently a lack of curative treatment for individuals that are diagnosed with ALS. Since treatment options are limited, researchers have placed greater emphasis on …
Impairments of Neuro-muscular Communication in Motor-Neuron Disease: A Bio-Marker for Early and Personalised Diagnosis
Motor neuron disease (MND) or ALS is a nervous system disease. ALS leads to a loss of movement ability that eventually leads to death. At the moment, there is no known treatment for ALS. Early diagnosis in individuals improves clinical care and facilitates timely entry into clinical trials. However, current …
The Study Evaluating the Improvement of Nutritional Status and Frailty With Silkworm Pupa Powder Among Patients With Motor Neuron Disease
Motor Neuron Disease (MND) is the result of dysfunction of the upper motor neurons in the precentral gyrus of the frontal lobe or the lower motor neurons in the ventral horn of the spinal cord. Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is the most common, disabling, and fatal motor neuron disease in …
Measurement and Impact of Physical Impairment in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis: Use of Digital Technologies - A Precision ALS Project
Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), the most common form of Motor Neuron Disease (MND), is a neurodegenerative disease. At present there are limited treatment options for this disease which progressively affects physical function, i.e., the ability to speak, breathe, walk, and perform activities of daily living. ALS is a rare disease, …
