First seen Feb 27, 2026 · Last updated May 12, 2026 · Updated 11 times

Summary

This study is testing a new, tiny oxygen sensor placed in the forearm muscle to see how well it measures muscle function in people with mitochondrial myopathy (a muscle disease caused by energy problems in cells) compared to healthy volunteers. The goal is to find a reliable way to track disease severity and response to future treatments. Participants will do handgrip and bike exercises while the sensor measures oxygen levels. The study does not offer a treatment, but aims to improve diagnosis and research tools.
