Summary

This study tests whether a daily breathing exercise using a device called the LIC Trainer can help people with ALS keep their lungs stronger longer. Fifteen adults with ALS will use the device twice a day at home and visit the clinic every three months for checkups. Researchers hope this training can slow the decline in lung function and delay the need for a ventilator or tracheostomy.
