Canadian researchers have launched a world-first study to fight ALS in an entirely new way, using a specially designed helmet that delivers medication into the brain using low-dose ultrasound.
The goal is to open the protective blood-brain barrier and unlock new treatment studies for this fatal neurological disorder.
“I think this is a very exciting day for the ALS community,” said Dr. Lorne Zinman, director of the ALS clinic at Sunnybrook Health Sciences.
