Authors: Imma Zamora Muniente, PhD, Lina Casadó Marín, PhD and Angel Martinez Hernaez, PhD

Abstract: Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is a fatal disease that triggers a progressive paralysis of the body with very poor prognosis and short life expectancy (3 to 5 years after diagnosis). This research is based on a quasi-experimental study with Acupuncture in people with ALS to know the effectiveness of Acupuncture in relation to the symptoms associated with the disease. We recruited 13 patients, 6 men and 7 women followed Acupuncture treatment. The acupuncture treatments consisted of 10 personalized sessions per person over 3 months. In each session, the pulse and tongue diagnosis of each participant was evaluated for the selection of the Acupuncture points to treat.
