Volunteer Story: John (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS))

NINDS Clinical Director Dr. Avindra Nath meets with clinical trial participant Mr. John Michael. Dr. Nath and his research team are conducting an NIH study to better understand amyotrophic lateral sclerosis or ALS. In the video, Mr. Michael shares his experience as a trial participant while Dr. Nath discusses his research. “Ever since being diagnosed in January of ’14, I kind of made it a mission of mine to find out as much as I can, what’s available out there as treatments, trials, and just my way of giving back, whether it helps me directly or somebody who comes after me,” Mr. Michael says.
