The Treatment of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis With Huollingshengji Granules
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
This study intends to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Dong Lingsheng Ji Granule in the treatment of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (spleen deficiency, kidney-yang deficiency syndrome) in comparison with riluzole, so as to provide data support for marketing application or subsequent clinical research design.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- ALSFRS-R scores [48 weeks]
Changes in ALSFRS-R scores from baseline after 48 weeks of treatment, The ALSFRS-R scale (ALS Functional Rating Scale) includes 12 items including medulla oblongata function, limb function and respiratory function, with a total score of 48. The lower the score, the more serious the neurological function damage.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- FVC% [48 weeks]
Change in FVC% from baseline after 48 weeks of treatment
