Still, some early clinical findings hint at potential uses in more specific contexts: Perioperative brain protection: A randomized controlled trial involving 155 liver surgery patients found that ALA reduced oxidative brain injury from anesthesia (sevoflurane) and improved cognitive recovery scores after surgery.31 Neurodegenerative conditions: In a small trial, ALA appeared to slow brain atrophy in patients with secondary progressive multiple sclerosis over a two-year period.32 While promising, this outcome still needs further confirmation
