BECKER MUSCULAR DYSTROPHY

This study tests a special fabric shoulder brace designed to mimic muscle support for people with neuromuscular disorders like muscular dystrophy, SMA, and ALS. About 30 participants will wear the brace and perform arm tasks to see if it improves movement, strength, and daily fun…

This study aims to understand how heart problems develop in people with Duchenne and Becker muscular dystrophy, as well as in carriers. Researchers will collect cardiac MRI scans and clinical data from 1,000 participants to build a registry. Using advanced image analysis and deep…

This study is testing whether a special ultrafast ultrasound can better measure muscle changes in boys and men with Duchenne or Becker muscular dystrophy. Researchers will compare muscle stiffness, fat content, and blood flow in 60 participants (patients and healthy volunteers) o…

This study will collect electronic health records from up to 2500 people with Duchenne or Becker muscular dystrophy, including female carriers, across U.S. clinics. The data will be combined with patient-reported information to give researchers a fuller picture of the diseases. T…

This study is building a worldwide online registry for people with Duchenne or Becker muscular dystrophy, including female carriers. Participants share their health information to help researchers learn more about the disease and to match patients with clinical trials. The goal i…

This study aims to understand how different types of changes in the DMD gene are linked to heart problems in boys and young men with Duchenne or Becker muscular dystrophy. Researchers will use heart tests and blood samples to look for early signs of heart issues. The study involv…

This study is looking at whether a molecule in the blood called miR-1 can help doctors understand how muscle diseases like Duchenne muscular dystrophy and myotonic dystrophy are progressing. Researchers will compare miR-1 levels in 104 people, including patients with different mu…

This study is a registry that collects health information from people in Switzerland who have neuromuscular disorders like SMA, DMD, BMD, and others. It aims to track symptoms, treatments, and outcomes over time to help researchers and doctors improve care. No new treatments are …

This study aims to find less invasive ways to measure Duchenne muscular dystrophy activity. Researchers will collect urine and blood samples from 100 participants, including boys with Duchenne or Becker muscular dystrophy and healthy adults. They will look for RNA biomarkers that…

This study aims to find less invasive ways to measure muscle disease activity in people with muscular dystrophies. Instead of painful muscle biopsies, researchers will use blood and urine samples along with painless ultrasound and electrical tests on the arms and legs. The goal i…

This study uses MRI scans to track muscle damage and fat buildup in boys and men with Duchenne or Becker muscular dystrophy over 5-10 years. Researchers will compare these images with how well participants can walk and perform daily activities. The goal is to find better ways to …
