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).
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 …
Virtual Peer-to-peer Support Programme for Carers of MND
Background/scope There is growing recognition that family caregiving is a serious public health issue requiring supportive interventions. Family caregivers play an essential role in sustaining a stable environment enabling individuals with motor neurone disease (MND) that are technology dependent to live at home. The family caregivers can experi¬ence exceptional burden …
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, …
Creation of a Clinical Database for the Study of Phenotypic Variability in Motor Neuron Diseases
Study Description: Characterization of Motor Neuron Disease Phenotypes The goal of this observational study is to understand the clinical presentation of motor neuron disease (MND) in patients attending the Neurology Department of the Istituto Auxologico Italiano. The main questions it aims to answer are: What are the specific clinical phenotypes …
Biomarker-driven Phenotypic Dissection of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis
The goal of this observational study is to understand the clinical variability in a population of ALS patients using multidimensional biomarkers. The main questions it aims to answer are: Which set of biomarkers explain genotypic-phenotypic correlations in ALS? Which set of biomarkers can be used to subdivide the ALS population …
A Phase 1, SAD and MAD Study to Evaluate the Safety and Tolerability of FB418
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of oral doses of FB418 in healthy adult subjects and healthy elderly subjects.
Oral Intake of Enteral Nutrition Formula Preceding Placement and Feeding Via GTube and Its Impact on Formula Intolerance in pALS
The main objective of the proposed study is to evaluate if oral intake of EN formula preceding Gtube placement will impact tolerance upon placement and feeding via Gtube in pALS. This single arm intervention study all participants will receive the intervention and researchers will utilize validated indicators combined with clinical …
High-Tech Rehabilitation Pathway for Chronic Adult Neuromuscular Diseases - Fit4MedRob-Chronic MND Project
The primary objective is to demonstrate, in a population of chronic neuromuscular disease the non-inferiority of a rehabilitation treatment integrated with robotic and/or technological devices compared to traditional rehabilitation treatment in the level of fatigue. The main question it aims to answer is: Are high-tech rehabilitation interventions, including robotic systems, …
