Hidden fracture risk in kids with SMA under spotlight
NCT ID NCT07530926
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at bone health in children with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), a condition that causes muscle weakness. Researchers want to find out how common fractures are and whether newer SMA treatments affect bone strength. They will review medical records from about 550 children across the UK, without any extra tests or visits.
