Declarations of interest

DH: DH is the Assistant Director of the Clinical Trials Unit where a National Institute of Health Research Health Technology Assessment (NIHR HTA) and Motor Neurone Disease Association/Henry Smith Charity funded study investigating the role of Diaphragmatic Pacing in ALS (DiPALS) is being co‐ordinated. Trial equipment has been provided by Synapse. DH is not directly involved with the trial

CM: CM is the study manager for a National Institute of Health Research Health Technology Assessment (NIHR HTA) and Motor Neurone Disease Association/ Henry Smith Charity funded study investigating the role of Diaphragmatic Pacing in ALS (DiPALS). This study has also received support from Synapse Biomedical in the form of pacing devices provided at no cost and technical support relating to device implantation and malfunction.

CJM: CJM is the chief investigator for a NIHR HTA and Motor Neurone Disease Association funded study investigating the role of Diaphragmatic Pacing in ALS. This study has also received support from Synapse Biomedical in the form of pacing devices provided at no cost and technical support relating to device implantation and malfunction.

PJS: PJS is an investigator for a NIHR HTA and Motor Neurone Disease Association funded study investigating the role of Diaphragmatic Pacing in ALS. This study has also received support from Synapse Biomedical in the form of pacing devices provided at no cost and technical support relating to device implantation and malfunction.

AR: AR is a member of the Data and Ethics Monitoring Committee for NIHR HTA funded RCT of diaphragm pacing in ALS (DiPALS).

MB: MB is the statistician for a National Institute of Health Research Health Technology Assessment (NIHR HTA) and Motor Neurone Disease Association/ Henry Smith Charity funded study investigating the role of Diaphragmatic Pacing in ALS (DiPALS). This study has also received support from Synapse Biomedical in the form of pacing devices provided at no cost and technical support relating to device implantation and malfunction.

PS: PS is the co‐investigator for the NIHR HTA and Motor Neurone Disease Association (MNDA)‐funded study investigating the role of Diaphragmatic Pacing in ALS (DiPALS). Synapse contributed equipment to her institution for use in this study.
