About this study

Official title: Effect of Sleep Disorder on Onset and Progression of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis

200 cases of ALS patients were collected to explore whether sleep disorders are related to earlier onset age, and whether sleep disorders accelerate the progress of ALS and shorten the survival time of ALS patients.

Read the detailed description

200 patients with ALS were collected. 1) sleep disorders were assessed by Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI) and Epworth Sleepiness Scale (epworth) at baseline Sleeping Scale,ESS); 2) Name, age, gender and onset site were collected to explore whether sleep disorders were associated with earlier onset age; 3) The patients' function (ALSFRS-R) at baseline and every 3 months within 2 years were collected, and the end-point time (death and invasive breathing) was recorded to evaluate whether sleep disturbance accelerated the decline of patients' function and shortened their short-term survival.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Dongsheng Fan (+86 13701023871, dsfan@sina.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

ALSFERS-R (time frame: 2 years). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
