Could umbilical cord stem cells ease muscle weakness in FSHD?
Symptom relief Recruiting nowThis early-stage study tests whether stem cells from umbilical cord lining can safely help people with FSHD, a genetic muscle-weakening disease. Sixteen adults will receive two doses of the cells and two doses of a placebo (saline) through an IV, in random order. The main goal is…

Can ultrasound spot breathing trouble in FSHD before It's too late?
Knowledge-focused Recruiting nowThis study follows 34 adults with FSHD over one year to see how their breathing muscles change. Researchers will use ultrasound to measure diaphragm thickness and movement, along with standard breathing tests. The goal is to find out if ultrasound can detect respiratory problems …
