NCT ID NCT06325865
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study interviewed 15 people with ALS to learn about unpleasant sensations or pain they experienced during clinical trial procedures. The goal was to identify which procedures cause discomfort and how long it lasts, so future trials can be more patient-friendly. Researchers also measured anxiety and functional status to better support participants.
