ALS study reveals hidden sensory changes in the brain
NCT ID NCT03694132
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at how amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) affects the brain's ability to process touch and other sensations, even when patients don't notice problems. Researchers used brain imaging and electrical recordings to compare 52 people with ALS and healthy volunteers. The goal was to find hidden sensory changes and link them to brain structure, not to test any treatment.
