potentiALS - Quality of Life Among Patients With Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a rapidly progressing and disabling disease with the majority of patients dying 3-5 years after symptom onset. Given the high symptom burden, many patients and its caregivers are highly distressed. However, few programs to improve mental health for this patient group exist, and the sparse …
Emotion Processing Among Patients With ALS
The goal of this observational study is to learn about the emotional perception in people with ALS disease compared to people with other neuromuscular disease and healthy controls. The main questions it aims to answer are:How people with ALS judge happy and angry faces and what their "insight" into these …
Measurement and Impact of Physical Impairment in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis: Use of Digital Technologies - A Precision ALS Project
Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), the most common form of Motor Neuron Disease (MND), is a neurodegenerative disease. At present there are limited treatment options for this disease which progressively affects physical function, i.e., the ability to speak, breathe, walk, and perform activities of daily living. ALS is a rare disease, …
Biomarker-driven Phenotypic Dissection of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis
The goal of this observational study is to understand the clinical variability in a population of ALS patients using multidimensional biomarkers. The main questions it aims to answer are:Which set of biomarkers explain genotypic-phenotypic correlations in ALS?Which set of biomarkers can be used to subdivide the ALS population in homogeneous …
Biospecimen Biorepository for the Study of ALS, ALS-FTD and Similar Neurodegenerative Disorders
The purpose of this study is to collect CSF and blood samples that can be used in future research studies to identify potential biomarkers in blood and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) collected in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) patients.
Imaging Biomarkers in ALS
The purpose of the study is to determine if we are able to find one or more biomarkers of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) and Primary Lateral Sclerosis (PLS) using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans at different levels, 3 tesla (3T) and 7 tesla (7T). A biomarker is a measurable characteristic …
Comprehensive Analysis Platform To Understand, Remedy and Eliminate ALS
CAPTURE ALS is a long-term data and biorepository platform that will facilitate future ALS research. CAPTURE ALS will provide the standardized systems and tools necessary to collect, store, and analyze vast amounts of multimodal information about ALS. These multimodal datasets and biosamples will be made available for use by researchers …
Reinnervation and Neuromuscular Transmission in ALS
The aim of this study is to describe the changes in the neuromuscular connection in patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). The study consist of three substudies that have the following main hypothesis:that ALS patients do not demonstrate equal capacity for muscle reinnervation and that reinnervation preserves muscle function and …
Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Registry in Thailand
This is a prospective, observational, multicenter registry designed to collect comprehensive clinical, genetic, and outcome data from patients diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) across Thailand. The registry will establish a national dataset to describe epidemiology, clinical presentation, progression, and treatment outcomes, and will serve as a platform for future …
Disease Biosignatures in ALS/FTD Spectrum: New Impactful Biological Perspectives Beyond Clinical Approaches
Diagnosis of ALS/FTD disease spectrum is challenging because it largely relies on clinical symptoms. Identifying novel biomarkers is essential for a paradigm shift towards a more precise biological-based diagnosis. To achieve this aim, having access to proper specimens and analytical methods is crucial. Our team of experts in neurology, biology, …
