What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed This study
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study tested whether breathing muscle exercises done at home via video calls could improve lung function and quality of life in 40 children with Duchenne muscular dystrophy. The children, aged 5-17, used a device to strengthen their breathing muscles. Researchers measured changes in breathing strength and daily breathlessness. The goal is to find a simple, accessible way to help manage respiratory problems in DMD.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Functional inspiratory muscle training via tele-rehabilitation
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a convenient home-based way to help children with Duchenne muscular dystrophy breathe easier and improve daily life.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed study with only 40 participants. Results may not apply to all children with DMD, and the benefits might be modest.

Study facts

What this study's own registry entry says, in plain language.

Phase

Not a phased trial

Phase numbers describe drug development. The registry uses this when they do not apply, as it does for trials of devices, procedures or behaviour changes, and for observational studies.

Participants

40 people

The number who actually took part.

Started

May 2024

Finished

May 2025

Lead sponsor

Other sponsor

The registry's catch-all category, for sponsors it does not file as a company, a government agency, or a research network.

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.

Ages

5 to 17 years

Sex

Male participants only

Healthy volunteers

Not accepted

This study is not open to healthy volunteers. The entry requirements below say who it is open to.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Being between the ages of 5-17 2. Ambulate 3. Having a diagnosis of DMD based on the presence of clinical symptoms, genetic testing or muscle biopsy results 4. Having the ability to perform respiratory function tests 5. Being able to cooperate with the physiotherapist Exclusion Criteria: 1. Having severe upper extremity contracture or serious systemic disease that would prevent our evaluation 2. Having a respiratory tract infection in the last 3 months 3.
