Can a month of exercise ease debilitating muscle disease?
NCT ID NCT01415219
Summary
This study tested whether a personalized, 4-week exercise program could improve daily function and quality of life for people with dermatomyositis or polymyositis. 80 adults with stable muscle weakness were randomly assigned to either receive the exercise program or continue with their usual care. Researchers followed participants for a year to see if the program led to lasting improvements in strength and ability to perform daily tasks.
