A new study led by Mayo Clinic found that a growth hormone, IGF-1, showed no benefit for patients with ALS. The study included 330 people from 20 different medical centers. Two previous studies of the growth hormone had conflicting results. Eric Sorenson, M.D., a Mayo Clinic neurologist, was the lead author of this study.
