What is missing. This record has no bottom line, key findings, reported figures, evidence dimensions. That is a gap in the analysis, not a judgement about the study.
Registry record from ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT05632757). This is a study registration, not published results. Lead sponsor: Assistance Publique Hopitaux De Marseille. Recruitment status: RECRUITING. Phase: NA. Study type: INTERVENTIONAL. Enrollment: 126 participants (ESTIMATED). Conditions: Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis. Interventions: BEHAVIORAL: Psychological assessments. Primary outcome measures: Impact of the patient's sense of being a burden on the patient's suicidal ideation , Inclusion visit (month 0). Brief summary: Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a degenerative neurological disease that causes progressive motor disability and is life threatening within a few years. The severity of the disease, the progressive loss of autonomy that leads to dependence on family and caregivers, and the lack of effective treatment sometimes leads patients to a loss of hope and to dark thoughts. The prevalence of suicidal ideation is high, with more than one third of people with ALS experiencing it. The psychological suffering of patients is often associated with that of their caregivers. The evaluation of the patients' feeling of being a burden has rarely been addressed in previous studies in ALS on the notion of burden. In this work, the investigators wish to evaluate the patient's ideas of death by also taking into account the caregiver's burden and the patient's feeling of being a burden. They wish to better understand this difficult experience by refocusing the study on the patient himself, which has rarely been addressed in studies on ALS and the notion of burden. By working on the caregiver's burden, both from the caregiver's point of view and as perceived by the patient, the investigators hope to find avenues of intervention and define actions that could help patients and their families and improve the quality of life of the patient-caregiver couple.
