4 DIC 2024 · Nuedexta is a combination of dextromethorphan and quinidine, and is FDA approved for treating “pseudobulbar affect” (a symptom complex where patients lose control of their laughing and crying). Here we summarize recent trials suggesting that Nuedexta might also help bulbar function (speech, swallowing and oral secretions). We also discuss important risks, monitoring, and insurance coverage.
4 NOV 2024 · Lions Mane is a mushroom that has neuroprotective, neurotrophic, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory properties. Here we review what is known about its use in ALS models as well as patients living with the disease.
1 OTT 2024 · Insulin is a hormone most commonly used to lower blood sugar in people with diabetes. Here we talk about some theoretical ways it might help help people with ALS, as well as the lack of convincing case reports or trials and the risks.
5 SET 2024 · Caffeine is a chemical most of us ingest every day. In addition to its stimulant properties, there are some theoretical ways it could help slow ALS progression. Here we discuss the contradictory pre-clinical models and the lack of a convincing relationship between caffeine intake and ALS progression in natural history studies.
13 AGO 2024 · Michael Benatar is a Professor of Neurology and Chief of the Neuromuscular Division and Executive Director of the ALS Center at the University of Miami. Here he discusses the recent publication “The Miami Framework for ALS and related neurodegenerative disorders: an integrated view of phenotype and biology”.
15 FEB 2024 · Dr. Caroline McHutchison is a Neuropsychologist and CReATe Clinical Research Scholar at the University of Edinburgh and Dr. Michael Benatar is a Professor of Neurology and Chief of the Neuromuscular Division and Executive Director of the ALS Center at the University of Miami.
