Research shows that 90 to 95 percent of ALS cases occur at random, with only 5-10 percent of ALS cases being inherited. Current MRI techniques are only partly capable of recognizing the different types of ALS. And, early stages of ALS can be similar to other more treatable disorders. This study hopes to see if there are differences on MRIs that might allow earlier diagnosis and to recognize ALS subtypes.<\/p>\n<p>*Please note: this study is located in Spokane, WA*<\/p>\n<h3>Participant Eligibility<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Between 18 and 80 years of age<\/li>\n<li>Have been clinically diagnosed with early stage Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>-or-<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Healthy control volunteer without ALS.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Contact<\/h3>\n<p>Lucas Sass<br \/>\n(208) 885-1578<\/p>\n<div class=\"box \"><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"dets\">Additional Study Details<\/h3>\n<p><span class=\"st\"><strong>Full Study Title<\/strong><br \/>\nMRI-based biomarkers for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"lhalf sid\"><strong>Study ID:<\/strong> IRB 2087<\/div>\n<div class=\"rhalf ctlink\"><strong>ClinicalTrials.gov Link:<\/strong><\/div>\n<div class=\"clear\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"lhalf start\"><strong>Start Date:<\/strong> 05\/08\/2017<\/div>\n<div class=\"rhalf end\"><strong>End Date:<\/strong> 09\/24\/2021<\/div>\n<div class=\"clear\"><\/div>\n<p><span class=\"pi\"><strong>Investigator(s)<\/strong><br \/>\nBryn Martin (PI)<br \/>\nGregory Carter<br \/>\nBrian Petersen<br \/>\nDouglas Weeks<br \/>\nMichelle Wiest<br \/>\n<\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"healthy\"><strong>Accepts Healthy Volunteers?<\/strong><br \/>\nYes<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong class=\"ssites\">Study Site(s)<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"lhalf site1\">\n<h4>Inland Imaging<\/h4>\n<p>525 S Cowley St<br \/>\nSpokane, Washington 99202<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"rhalf site2\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"clear\"><\/div>\n<p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The purpose of this study is to identify possible brain or spinal cord differences in participants with ALS compared to participants without ALS.
