โœฆ Synopsis

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and its variants are feared progressive neurological diseases of which the etiology and pathogenesis are unknown and for which therapy is unavailable. In 1983, Engel and associates 1 11 reported that infusion of thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) improved strength and lessened spasticity in patients with ALS. Their report generated hope that, at long last, an effective treatment may exist. In this report we assess the current status of the evidence for using TRH in the management of patients with ALS.
