Scientists watch LGMD progress in 205 patients over years
NCT ID NCT04475926
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study follows 205 people with four types of limb-girdle muscular dystrophy (LGMD) to understand how the disease changes over time. Participants will have their muscle strength, movement, and breathing tested regularly for up to 5 years. No treatment is given; the goal is to learn more about the disease's natural history.
