Summary

This study looks at whether people with ALS and chronic breathing problems can start using a noninvasive ventilator (a mask that helps them breathe) at home instead of in the hospital. Researchers will compare how well patients use the machine and how much it costs. The goal is to make starting this treatment easier and more convenient for patients.
