ALS Untangled does not recommend Endotherapia for ALS

Original source

EndotherapiaALSUntangled · 25 January 2016

ALS Untangled reviewed Endotherapia and said its proposed laboratory-based mechanism has not been convincingly demonstrated. The group found the available data in people with ALS too problematic to interpret and does not recommend using Endotherapia at this time.

Why this matters

This means the review does not provide reliable evidence that Endotherapia helps people with ALS. It suggests that independent research should first test whether the laboratory tests underlying the treatment are valid.

Limitations and context

This is an independent expert review published in 2016, not a new clinical trial. The review also mentions a flawed rat study and says animal findings rarely translate into useful human treatments. It recommends further validation by a group without a potential conflict of interest.
