NCT ID NCT07368400
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a gamified mobile app can help 46 boys aged 6–12 with Duchenne muscular dystrophy stay motivated with their home physiotherapy. The app includes rewards, levels, and feedback to make exercise more engaging. Researchers will measure physical function, endurance, and well-being after 8 weeks and at 6 months.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Gamified mobile physiotherapy exercise application
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a fun, accessible way for children with Duchenne muscular dystrophy to stick with their home exercises and slow physical decline.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 46 participants, so results may not apply to all children. The app is a behavioral tool, not a treatment for the disease itself.
