Remotely Supervised Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation for Slowing Disease Progression in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS)
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) and Sham tDCS + anodal tDCS for Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS). Completed, enrolled 14 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Most ALS care is centered on patient support and symptom management, making rehabilitation an integral aspect for slowing disease progression, prolonging life span, and increasing quality of life. Brain stimulation has been increasingly explored as a promising neuromodulatory tool to prime motor function in several neurological disorders. We propose a novel mechanism using remotely supervised brain stimulation to preserve motor function in individuals with ALS. This project will also aim to explore the effectiveness of brain stimulation on upper and lower motor neuron mechanisms in individuals with ALS.
