Memphis, TennesseeAges 15 years+ - NCT07630389Recruiting
Remote monitoring for childhood myotonic dystrophy
This study uses video calls and online assessments to track how myotonic dystrophy (a muscle-weakening condition) affects children over time. Researchers will also look at genetic factors to better understand the disease and improve care.
Rochester, New YorkAges birth–17 years - NCT06584877Enrolling by invitation

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for childhood?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 422 recruiting childhood studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a childhood trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a childhood trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
