The National ALS Registry is a database that gathers information from people living with ALS in the United States. The registry's main goal is to help connect patients like you with clinical trials and research studies that might be looking for participants. By joining, you're helping researchers understand ALS better and giving yourself opportunities to potentially access new treatments being tested.
ALS is a serious condition, and researchers need to study it and test new treatments to help patients. This registry makes it easier to match patients with research opportunities that fit their needs and location, so that promising treatments can be tested and developed more quickly.

Participating in this registry means sharing your ALS diagnosis information and medical history so researchers can contact you about clinical trials and studies you might be eligible for. You are not required to join any specific trial — the registry simply creates a connection between you and research opportunities. The registry staff will help match your information with studies that are recruiting and may reach out to invite you to participate if you're a good fit.
