Nutrition and metabolism study for motor neurone disease
Part of Brain & nervous system, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at how your body uses energy and nutrients when you have motor neurone disease (MND). It focuses on people who are starting to see a specialist breathing clinic, to better understand nutrition and metabolism in MND.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are at least 18 years old.
- You have recently been referred to the specialist respiratory (breathing) service for assessment.
