Summary

This trial tests a 12-session telecare program for children aged 7 to 17 with limb-girdle muscular dystrophy. The group-based intervention focuses on social cognition, emotional management, and coping strategies to improve quality of life and reduce symptoms. Participants attend weekly one-hour videoconferences with four other children.

What this could lead to
If successful, this program could offer a practical way to boost social skills, emotional well-being, and quality of life for children with limb-girdle muscular dystrophy.
What could go wrong
