What this trial measures

  • ALS-Specific Quality of Life Questionnaire - Short FormBaseline, 4 weeks, 8 weeks

    is a validated, disease-specific questionnaire designed to assess quality of life in individuals with ALS. It provides a concise measure of key domains such as emotional well-being, physical symptoms, social interaction, and existential concerns. The short-form version reduces patient burden while maintaining strong reliability and sensitivity to changes in health status over time.
