Evaluating Electrical Stimulation to Reduce Facial Pain and Improve Jaw Movement and Oral Health in Adults With ALS and PLS

What this Trial Is About

Researchers are studying the effects of non-invasive electrical stimulation on facial pain, jaw movement, chewing, and oral hygiene in people with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis ALS and Primary Lateral Sclerosis PLS. The study aims to see if this treatment can reduce jaw pain and improve jaw mobility and chewing ability. It also looks at how the treatment might affect difficulty with oral hygiene tasks, based on patient reports. This is a prospective, cross-sectional study involving individuals diagnosed with ALS or PLS who experience jaw pain.
