EXPERIMENTAL

Plasma from healthy young people treatment + Riluzole

Biological: Plasma from healthy young people treatment + Riluzole

Riluzole

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Riluzole

Drug: Riluzole

Interventions

Intravenous injection: the subjects received 400ml of intravenous plasma infusion every 2 weeks, with a continuous course of 2 treatments and a course of treatment every 3 months. The course of treatment lasted 10 months, with a total of 3200ml of plasma infusion.

Biological+Riluzole

The basic treatment is Riluzole 25\~50mg twice daily
