NCT ID NCT05837507
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether a digital platform (m-Rehab) could help people with ALS who use non-invasive ventilation. The platform included educational content, remote monitoring, and video consultations. The goal was to see if it could slow the loss of physical function and improve quality of life. The trial was terminated early and enrolled 43 participants.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- multimodal digital platform (m-Rehab) with telemonitoring, education, and teleconsultation
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could offer a way to help ALS patients manage their condition at home and potentially slow the loss of function.
- What could go wrong
- The trial was terminated early with only 43 participants, so results are limited. The platform may not meaningfully change disease progression or quality of life.
