Summary

This early-phase study is testing a new, minimally invasive nanosensor that measures oxygen levels in muscle tissue. Researchers want to see if it can tell the difference between people with mitochondrial myopathy and healthy volunteers. The goal is to develop a reliable tool to track disease severity and response to future treatments. The study involves 24 adults aged 18-65 and includes a handgrip exercise test.
