NCT ID NCT05019625
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
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 is to develop better tools to track disease severity and response to future treatments.
