Summary |
The Cochrane Collaboration is an organization, based in the UK that is dedicated to producing systematic reviews and meta-analyses of the best available evidence in the medical literature that is relevant to a specific topic. We have authored reviews of topics such as the treatment of familial ALS, and are currently working on one about the use of enteral feeding in patients with ALS. |
