Exercise study aims to unlock Muscle-Nerve secrets in rare disease
NCT ID NCT07450690
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how exercise training changes muscle cells in people with mitochondrial myopathy, a rare disease that affects energy production. Researchers will compare a trained leg to an untrained leg in the same person, and also compare results with healthy volunteers. The goal is to understand how exercise affects muscle energy, growth, and communication with nerves.
