Remote care trial offers hope for MND patients struggling to reach specialists
NCT ID NCT02464748
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether a telehealth system could help people with motor neurone disease (MND) receive specialist care from home, avoiding long trips to the clinic. It involved 40 patients and their caregivers, with half using the system for up to 18 months. The goal was to see if this approach is practical and acceptable, not to cure the disease. Results will guide future larger trials on cost-effectiveness and quality of life.
