The IMPACT-ALS survey collected the experiences of people living with ALS (plwALS) across nine European countries. We aimed to better understand the functional burden of ALS to ensure the experiences of plwALS inform the development of person-centered therapies. The content was informed by the US IMPACT-ALS survey, with adjustments relevant to the European population. Questionnaires consisted of four modules, each of which was pilot tested in advance of distribution. Data were captured using the Qualtrics software and were analyzed in SPSS. 857 respondents completed the survey, with a participation rate ranging from 0.2% to 6.3% across the nine participating countries. The majority were male and aged 55–74 years old. In the previous 2 weeks, symptoms experienced included weakness (81%), fatigue (61%), speech impairment (38%), pain (27%), and depression and other mood changes (23%). Eighty-two percent of respondents reported fears, of which the most common were leaving family too soon (68%) and death from respiratory failure (50%). Lifestyle changes since diagnosis were reported by 89% of respondents, with less time spent doing most daily activities but more time on the internet (81%), reading (56%) and communicating with family and friends (55%). Stopping progression of ALS was the most desired impact for a new therapy for 68% respondents. The European IMPACT-ALS survey has generated insights into the complex experiences of plwALS. The data provide unique patient perspectives on common symptoms, fears, functional limitations, lifestyle changes, and wishes for future therapies that will enhance patient-centric care in ALS.
