Painless test could spot deadly ALS years earlier

NCT ID NCT05104710

Summary

This study is testing whether a simple, painless measurement of muscle activity can help doctors diagnose ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis) earlier and more accurately. Researchers will use surface electrodes on the skin to measure how two muscles work together during a simple task. They will follow 650 participants, including people with early symptoms and healthy volunteers, to see if this measurement can speed up diagnosis and track how the disease progresses over time.
