Emotional Awareness in Patients with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis

摘要
It has been recently acknowledged that deficits in experiencing and processing one’s own emotions, also termed alexithymia, may possibly feature the frontotemporal-spectrum disorders. This study aims to determine whether alexithymia could be included within the frontotemporal syndromes of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).

Patients were assessed for the identification of motor-phenotypes and frontotemporal syndromes based on current classification criteria.

Abnormal TAS-20 scores were found in 13
