British doctors are to launch a major clinical trial to investigate whether a common anti-depression drug could be a cheap and effective treatment for the devastating condition motor neurone disease. The trial, which is due to start in January, will follow more than 200 patients with motor neurone disease over 18 months to see if those given daily lithium pills live longer. Lithium is already licensed for treating manic depression and other mental disorders, and is extremely cheap, costing just 48p for a packet of 20 pills.
