Home workouts with video coaching tested for rare muscle disease
NCT ID NCT05346627
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a personalized mix of endurance and strength exercises, done at home with video check-ins, can improve mobility and muscle strength in people with mitochondrial myopathy. Fifteen adults with confirmed genetic mutations will follow the program for up to 12 months. The goal is to see if this approach is safe and effective for daily life.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- personalized mixed training program (endurance and muscle reinforcement) at home
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could provide a safe, practical exercise guideline for mitochondrial myopathy patients to improve daily function and muscle strength.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very small early study (15 people) with no control group, so results may not apply widely. Exercise might not improve symptoms and could cause fatigue or injury.
