Since this medicine increases or assists in making dopamine has there ever been a trial or test in ALS patients??

There have been a few theories and smalls test done, but nothing conclusive has been found, so far.

It can be hard to get approval for such trials, due to the risks they post to the people with the conditions, who are force to forego conventional treatments.

Are there any other comments or questions?
