Giving opportunities - New and better diagnostics and therapeutics
At present, there is no effective diagnostic test for MND. It can take over a year from symptom onset to diagnosis.
Diagnostics are therefore urgently needed to ensure that people with suspected MND no longer have to live with lengthy uncertainty about their disease and the course it might take.
New and better therapies are also needed to slow disease progression, stop MND in its tracks and ultimately reverse the damage to the brain and spinal cord.
Giving opportunities include:
A programme of research studies aimed at identifying diagnostic markers of MND.
