From the Paper:

"There are several promising studies when it comes to the use of creatine for the treatment of certain diseases and disorders . One of the most promising areas of use that is currently being researched is the effect of creatine on neuromuscular diseases. These include Muscular Sclerosis, and Muscular Dystrophy. One study examined results of using creatine with muscular dystrophy by using a placebo with some participants and the supplement with others. The double blind study indicated that there was muscle improvement in those that received the creatine. "
"Another extremely promising area of research is in the use of creatine for neurological disorders. ALS has shown positive results when using creatine to slow the progression of the disease. "
