How do I find out if I qualify for a facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy study in California?

Each study lists its eligibility rules — age, diagnosis, prior treatments. On every trial page we explain these in plain language and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.

Do I have to live in California to take part?

Not necessarily. These studies have a site in California, but eligibility is about your health, not your address — some people travel to take part, and a few studies reimburse travel. The study team can tell you what's required.

Does it cost anything to join a facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy trial?

Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what's covered before you decide.

What taking part in a facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy study involves

A screening visit first

Before anything else, the study team checks whether you fit — usually a visit with some tests. You can stop at any point, and screening is typically free.

Care at a nearby site

Study visits happen at a clinic or hospital taking part. Many studies cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits, and some reimburse travel.

You stay in control

Taking part is voluntary and you can leave a study at any time, for any reason, without affecting your regular care.

The team decides eligibility

Our fit check is a helpful first read, not a decision. The study team makes the final call after reviewing your health history.
