First seen Oct 01, 2025 · Last updated Apr 28, 2026 · Updated 21 times

Summary

This early-stage study tests whether a special helmet using sound waves can safely open a temporary door in the brain's protective barrier to deliver an anti-inflammatory drug (IVIg) directly to the motor cortex in people with ALS. Only 6 adults with ALS will take part. The main goal is to check for side effects and see if the procedure works as planned.
