NCT ID NCT03362658
First seen May 19, 2026 · Last updated May 24, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study explores whether advanced MRI scans can detect changes in the brain caused by ALS, a disease that affects nerve cells. Researchers will scan 119 people (ALS patients and healthy volunteers) three times over 8 months to see if these scans can track the disease's progression. The goal is to create better tools for diagnosing ALS earlier and testing new treatments more effectively.
