Exploring the Lived Experiences of Individuals with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS): A Qualitative Study and Conceptual Model of Signs, Symptoms, and Functional Impacts

This research provides a holistic understanding of the experience of living with ALS and is the first conceptual model based on in-depth concept elicitation interviews. The findings highlight the range of signs, symptoms, and impacts that PLwALS experience, emphasizing its serious humanistic impact and high unmet need, and will help to guide patient-centric evaluation of clinical outcome assessments in future ALS studies.
