The ALS Association has launched a new funding opportunity to support exploratory research that has the potential for a significant impact on the fight against ALS.
Occupational therapists are key members of the clinic team for individuals living with ALS. As ALS progresses, most people gradually lose their ability to use their hands and their arms as their muscles weaken. Occupational therapists help to provide expertise and creativity to help patients better manage daily activities for as long as possible.
The U.S. FDA approved RADICAVA IV formulation on May 5, 2017 as a treatment for ALS. In May 2022 the FDA approved an oral formulation of edaravone for the treatment of ALS.
I took ALS Focus surveys before June 2022. Why do ALS Focus surveys look different now?
Our survey team improved how ALS Focus works so that participating in surveys is easier. The changes we made are based on feedback from ALS Focus participants and our Patient and Caregiver Advisory Committee. ALS Focus surveys now take place through Qualtrics, which is an online survey platform that is widely used in the research community. Using Qualtrics, we can design surveys and questions that are easy to complete, and we can generate results quickly.
We recently caught up with Lindsay Litterini, volunteer and board member for The ALS Association Western Pennsylvania Chapter, to learn more about her personal connection to ALS and her passion to join the fight against the disease.
