A recent study confirmed that individuals with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) experience sleep disturbances, a symptom previously suggested but not confirmed. The research, led by Incorvaia (2025), also identified two hormone therapies that could potentially address this issue.
The therapies were tested on mouse models of ALS, and the results showed that these treatments restored normal sleep patterns in the affected mice. This finding is significant as it opens up new avenues for improving the quality of life for those with ALS by potentially treating one of its symptomatic aspects. The study's implications suggest that hormone therapy could be a viable option to alleviate sleep disruption in ALS patients.
