Neuromuscular Magnetic Stimulation Counteracts Muscle Decline in ALS Patients
Hi. Does anyone have an opinion, knowledge or know of other studies on the value of Neuromuscular Magnetic Stimulation? I came across this article and would like some input from others. Since this article is two years old and I haven’t heard anything about Neuromuscular Magnetic Stimulation for ALS, I was doubtful that it worked.

Thanks, Richard

From their abstract:
“This suggests that the improvement in muscle strength observed in the stimulated arm is unlikely related to reinnervation. ”
So the authors did not expect it to be a breakthrough.
Dagmar convinced me that a gentle exercise is actually good for ALS patients (which I am not).
That, and keeping a BMI at 27. A newly diagnosed ALS patient needs a lot more calories than a healthy person:
