Lateral sclerosis

This study provides an experimental stem cell treatment (HB-adMSCs) to an 83-year-old man with Primary Lateral Sclerosis, a rare nerve disease that causes progressive muscle weakness. The patient's own banked stem cells are used, aiming to slow the disease. This is a single-patie…

This study tests whether an AI tool can help radiologists read brain CT and MRI scans more accurately and quickly. Researchers will compare how well doctors, AI alone, and doctors using AI together can spot abnormalities, urgent findings, and classify diseases. The goal is to red…

This study tests whether a home-based brain stimulation device (tDCS) combined with activity therapy can help improve cognitive and language problems in people with stroke, brain tumors, or neurodegenerative conditions like Parkinson's or Alzheimer's. Fifty-five participants will…

This early-stage trial tests the drug dalfampridine (Ampyra), already used for multiple sclerosis, in 35 adults with primary lateral sclerosis or upper motor neuron ALS. The main goal is to see if it safely improves walking speed, measured by a timed 25-foot walk. Researchers wil…

This study is observing 217 people with ALS and related conditions like frontotemporal dementia and hereditary spastic paraplegia. Researchers aim to connect each person's genetic makeup with their symptoms and find biological markers in blood and spinal fluid. No new treatments …

This study looks at people with ALS and similar diseases like frontotemporal dementia and hereditary spastic paraplegia. Researchers want to understand how genes affect the disease and find biological markers (biomarkers) to help develop future treatments. About 708 participants,…

This study enrolls people with ALS and related disorders, as well as healthy volunteers, to track biological markers (biomarkers) in urine, blood, and spinal fluid. The goal is to better understand how these markers change over time, which could help design more effective future …

This study checks whether a French version of a scale called PLSFRS works well for people with primary lateral sclerosis (PLS), a rare nerve disease. Researchers will ask 80 patients to fill out the questionnaire during routine check-ups every 3 to 6 months. The goal is to see if…

This study follows 1000 people with upper motor neuron disease who are about to receive the Cionic Neural Sleeve. The sleeve uses electrical stimulation to help muscles contract at the right time during movement. Researchers will track changes in health-related quality of life us…
