About This Trial
The goal of this clinical trial is to assess the efficacy of TPS of the motor cortex on biomarkers and clinical endpoints in patients with ALS. The main questions it aims to answer are:
* Stage 1: Is there a change in the short intracortical inhibition (SICI) of the motor cortex from baseline to week 8?
* Stage 2: Is there a change from baseline to month 6 in the ALS functional rating scale-revis…
