Scientists hunt for hidden causes of crippling muscle disease

NCT ID NCT01276470

Recruiting now Knowledge-focused Sponsor: National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) Source: ClinicalTrials.gov ↗

Summary

This study aims to understand whether certain environmental exposures—like infections, chemicals, or stressful events—might trigger autoimmune muscle diseases called myositis. Researchers will compare 580 people with myositis to healthy volunteers, collecting blood, dust samples, and detailed questionnaires about their past exposures. The goal is to identify potential risk factors that could lead to better prevention strategies in the future.
