A longitudinal study of imaging biomarkers in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and primary lateral sclerosis (PLS)

Status: Recruiting

The purpose of the study is to test new biomarkers of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and primary lateral sclerosis (PLS) using MRI scans at 3 tesla (3T). Identifying biomarkers of a disease can lead to a better understanding of the disease as well as improved treatments.
