Trial Readiness and Endpoint Assessment in LGMD R1
This is a 24-month, observational study of 100 participants with Limb Girdle Muscular Dystrophy type R1, also known as CAPN3.
Motor Outcomes to Validate Evaluations in Pediatric FSHD (MOVE Peds)
The primary goal of this study is to validate motor and functional outcomes and refine clinical trial strategies for pediatric-onset FSHD
Motor Outcomes to Validate Evaluations in FSHD (MOVE FSHD)
The primary goal of this proposal is to collect motor and functional outcomes specific to FSHD over time. By collecting measures specific to FSHD, this will help ensure the best level of clinical care is being provided. Also, the hope is to speed up drug development by gaining a better …
Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Ultrasound Comparison With Load Evaluation
Facioscapulohumeral dystrophy (FSHD) is one of the most common hereditary neuromuscular disorders (NMD), with an estimated prevalence of 2000 patients in the Netherlands. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and muscle ultrasound have contributed to an enhanced understanding of the pathophysiology of Facioscapulohumeral Muscular Dystrophy (FSHD). Previously, our group demonstrated the potential …
Establishing Walking-related Digital Biomarkers in Rare Childhood Onset Progressive Neuromuscular Disorders
The purpose of this research is (1) to identify disease specific walking-related digital biomarkers of disease severity, and (2) monitor longitudinal changes in natural environments, for extended periods of time, in DMD and SMA.
DMCRN-02-001: Assessing Pediatric Endpoints in DM1
The overall goal of the study is to establish valid clinical endpoint assessments for children with congenital myotonic dystrophy type 1 and childhood myotonic dystrophy type 1, and develop biomarkers for the condition.
Validity and Reliability of a Turkish Version of MD Anderson Inventory Dysphagia Inventory
The purpose of this study is to M.D. Validity of the Turkish version of the Anderson Dysphagia Inventory for the Turkish population, reliability, and cultural adaptation.
Investigational Use of Neuromuscular Ultrasound
Background Current techniques used to measure the health and function of a person s nerves and muscles are generally effective, but they do have limits. Researchers are looking for ways to improve the ability to observe nerves and muscles and how they function in this natural history protocol. Objective To …
Respiratory Functions, Thoracoabdominal Movements and Exercise Capacity in Neuromuscular Diseases
The clinical trial titled "Investigation of Respiratory Functions, Thoracoabdominal Movements, and Exercise Capacity in Neuromuscular Diseases" aims to evaluate the respiratory functions, thoracoabdominal movements, and exercise capacity in children with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) and Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) compared to healthy controls. The study will use spirometry, structured light …
Extracellular RNA Biomarkers of Myotonic Dystrophy
Current methods of measuring the response to new treatments for muscular dystrophies involve the examination of small pieces of muscle tissue called biopsies. The investigators are interested in finding less invasive methods that reduce the need for muscle biopsies. The purpose of this research is to learn about the possibility …
