Polish questionnaire for breathing difficulties in ALS
Part of Brain & nervous system, Hormones & metabolism, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests a Polish questionnaire about breathing difficulties in people with ALS. It aims to better understand and measure dyspnea in ALS, which could help improve symptom management.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have a definite, probable, or probable laboratory-supported diagnosis of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), based on the revised El Escorial criteria.
- You must have shortness of breath with effort, at rest, or when lying flat, and there must be no heart or lung condition causing it.
- Your cognitive abilities must be sufficient to take part in the study; severe cognitive impairment would disqualify you.

This study tests a Polish version of a scale that measures how tired people feel. It's for people with MS, ALS, or stroke, or healthy volunteers.
This study uses ultrasound and electrical tests of breathing muscles and nerves to see if they can predict breathing failure in people with ALS. This could help doctors know when a patient might need breathing support.
This study uses a quick ultrasound test to check how well the breathing muscle (the diaphragm) works in people with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). It may help doctors monitor breathing changes over time and guide care.
This study looks at swallowing problems in people with ALS and how they affect quality of life, including people’s attitudes toward PEG (a feeding tube). It may help researchers understand what support and information could improve comfort and day-to-day living.
This study looks at breathing support sessions using a machine called MIE to help people with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). It may help reduce breathing complications for people who haven’t benefited from similar breathing sessions in the last year.
This trial measures how physical function affects daily life and well-being in people with ALS. It aims to understand how movement abilities impact patient-reported outcomes.
