New ultrasound scan could spot breathing problems earlier in muscle disease

NCT ID NCT06078852

Summary

This study aims to see if a simple ultrasound scan can be a better tool for tracking breathing problems in adults with Facioscapulohumeral Muscular Dystrophy (FSHD). Researchers will follow 34 patients for one year, comparing ultrasound images of the main breathing muscle (the diaphragm) to standard breathing tests. The goal is to learn if ultrasound can detect changes earlier and more accurately, which could help doctors monitor patients better.
