Tracking nerve changes in people with ALS
Part of Brain & nervous system, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study follows people with ALS over time to learn how the body’s automatic nerves and nerve sensing (how you feel touch and pain) change. It may help researchers understand ALS better and guide future care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have ALS
- You started having motor symptoms within the last 18 months
- You do not have glucose intolerance (problems with blood sugar)
- You do not have other conditions that could affect nerves in your hands or feet

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study continuously measures activity and movement in people with ALS and in control participants. It aims to better understand how muscle disease changes day-to-day function, which may help improve future monitoring or care.
This study looks at how nerves reconnect and send signals to muscles in people with ALS. It may help doctors understand the disease better and find new ways to treat it.
This study watches people with ALS over time to better understand how symptoms change and what features show up. It may help future care and treatments by improving doctors’ understanding of ALS’s natural course.
This trial studies the “innate immune system” (your body’s first-line immune response) in people with ALS and in comparison groups. It may help researchers understand what drives ALS and how immune changes could relate to symptoms.
This study measures how well your nerves and muscles work together to see if it can serve as an early sign (a “biomarker”) of ALS. It may help doctors track ALS more accurately, especially in people who already seem to have ALS based on nerve testing.
This study follows people living with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) over time. It may help researchers better understand ALS and track changes that could guide future treatments.
