Blood test matches ALS patients to supplements in quest to slow disease

NCT ID NCT06429059

Summary

This pilot study tested a personalized approach for ALS (Lou Gehrig's disease). Researchers used a blood analysis platform to categorize 50 participants into one of four biological problem areas linked to ALS. Based on their category, participants received a specific dietary supplement for 6 months to see if it could slow the progression of their symptoms. The goal was to see if matching treatment to a person's specific biology is a useful strategy.
