NCT01160263 ↗

Non-randomizedParallel-groupOpen-labelDiagnostic

Summary

The purpose of this study is to study the transporters of serotonin and dopamine in ALS patients in relation with the clinical phenotype, i.e., patients without stiffness, patients with pyramidal stiffness, patients with mixed (pyramidal and extra pyramidal) stiffness.
