Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease, is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder that affects motor neurons, leading to muscle weakness, paralysis, and eventual death. For years, ALS has been considered an incurable disease, with treatment options primarily focused on symptom management. However, recent advancements in ALS research are offering new hope to patients and families affected by the disease. This article explores the cutting-edge research in ALS, including breakthroughs in genetic studies, clinical trials, and innovative therapeutic approaches. By examining the latest findings in ALS research, we highlight how these developments are paving the way for potential treatments and better outcomes for patients.
