What is a Natural
History Study?

A Natural History Study (NHS) is a research approach that observes and documents the progression of a disease over time without therapeutic intervention. For rare conditions like ADLD, these studies are invaluable in capturing the full spectrum of the disease, from onset to long-term impacts.
