NCT ID NCT07067229
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a new approach for people with motor neuron disease (ALS) that combines personalized brain stimulation with mixed reality exercise games. The goal is to slow disease progression and improve quality of life. One hundred adults with mild to moderate ALS will be randomly assigned to one of three groups and followed for six months.
