First seen Jan 06, 2026 · Last updated May 14, 2026 · Updated 24 times
Summary
This study aims to find less invasive ways to track muscular dystrophy, replacing painful muscle biopsies with simple blood and urine tests plus painless ultrasound and electrical muscle scans. Researchers will compare these new methods in 465 people with different types of muscular dystrophy and healthy controls. The goal is to better measure disease activity and severity, which could help future treatment development.
