Assessment of nocturnal hypoventilation in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis

The overall goals of this study are to identify how measurement of carbon dioxide during sleep can improve recognition of respiratory distress in neuromuscular disease and thus improve timely access to respiratory therapies which prolong survival. Subjects in this study will participate for up to one year, during which their carbon dioxide levels will be measured in clinic and in their homes during sleep.

Subjects in this study will participate for up to one year, during which their carbon dioxide levels will be measured using deviced attached to the skin while in clinic and in their homes during sleep. Subjects will also complete surveys at the time of clinic visits.
