Bridging the Voice of ALS Patients | ATSDR
Bridging the Voice of ALS Patients Because learning more about ALS is an important step in the battle to defeat it, the National ALS Registry gathers confidential health information from people who are living with the disease to learn more about what causes ALS and possibly lead to better treatments. Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a fatal neurological disease that attacks the nerve cells. The cause of ALS is unknown, and there is no known cure.
