Progressive muscular atrophy

Researchers are testing a muscle biopsy method that uses mild electrical stimulation to sample the junction where nerves meet muscle. The goal is to see if this technique helps distinguish between inclusion body myositis and motor neuron disease, which can look alike. The study i…

This study aims to find early markers of Parkinson's disease, multiple system atrophy, and Lewy body dementia by analyzing samples from the nose, blood, and urine. Researchers will compare results from 180 people with these conditions and healthy volunteers. The goal is to improv…

This study is observing 217 people with ALS and related conditions like frontotemporal dementia and hereditary spastic paraplegia. Researchers aim to connect each person's genetic makeup with their symptoms and find biological markers in blood and spinal fluid. No new treatments …

This study looks at people with ALS and similar diseases like frontotemporal dementia and hereditary spastic paraplegia. Researchers want to understand how genes affect the disease and find biological markers (biomarkers) to help develop future treatments. About 708 participants,…

This study enrolls people with ALS and related disorders, as well as healthy volunteers, to track biological markers (biomarkers) in urine, blood, and spinal fluid. The goal is to better understand how these markers change over time, which could help design more effective future …

This study follows 1000 people with upper motor neuron disease who are about to receive the Cionic Neural Sleeve. The sleeve uses electrical stimulation to help muscles contract at the right time during movement. Researchers will track changes in health-related quality of life us…
