NCT ID NCT06868784

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study looks at how thinking skills (called executive functions) relate to everyday activities like self-care and play in children with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). Researchers will compare 38 children with DMD to healthy children using surveys and functional tests. The goal is to better understand these connections so future support can be more targeted.
