Recruiting studies
- NCT06756633Recruiting
Breathing and movement study for neuromuscular disease
This study looks at breathing, chest and belly movement, and exercise ability in people with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy or Spinal Muscular Atrophy, as well as healthy people. The goal is to compare these functions to help understand how these diseases affect the body.
Ankara, ÇankayaAges 5–15 - NCT06438965Recruiting
Light test for muscle & nerve disease in kids
This study uses a safe, non-invasive light test (called MSOT) to help diagnose and monitor children with muscle or nerve diseases. It aims to find better ways to track these conditions without needles or radiation.
Ottawa, OntarioAges Up to 18 years - NCT07216339Recruiting
Can a game make the walking test more fun for kids?
This study tests if adding game-like features to a standard 6-minute walking test makes it more engaging for children with muscle or nerve disorders. It may help kids stay motivated and perform better during the test.
Lexington, KentuckyAges 6–12 - NCT06776822Enrolling by invitation
DNS therapy for asymmetry after heart surgery in children
This trial tests whether a special physical therapy called DNS (Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization) can help children aged 6 to 18 who have body asymmetry (uneven movement or posture) after surgery for a congenital heart defect. Participation may improve their balance and muscle control.
PragueAges 6–18 - NCT05434572Recruiting
Neuromuscular disease biobank for research samples
This trial is building a biobank (a secure research collection) from people with neuromuscular diseases, their families, or healthy volunteers. By joining, you help researchers study these conditions and improve future treatments.
Richmond, VirginiaAges Up to 75 years - NCT05051254Recruiting
Breathing muscle testing in children with breathing muscle weakness
This study looks at how hard it is for children to breathe and how their breathing muscles work, using specific breathing-related tests. It may help doctors better understand breathing problems and choose care more effectively.
ParisAges birth–17 years - NCT01900132Recruiting
Electrical muscle testing for neuromuscular disorders
This study uses a quick, painless electrical test to measure muscle health in people with nerve or muscle disorders and in healthy volunteers. It aims to learn how these measurements change over time, which may help diagnose and monitor these conditions better.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 2–110 - NCT00390104Recruiting
Study uses blood and skin samples to learn muscular disease causes
This study looks at samples from people with muscular dystrophy and from close relatives, to better understand neuromuscular diseases. You may be asked to provide a skin biopsy for research to help with genetic and molecular analysis.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 1 week–100 years - NCT06553976Recruiting
Research network for hereditary spastic paraplegia
This trial aims to build a research network and gather information from people with two genetic types of hereditary spastic paraplegia (SPG4 and SPG5A). It will help doctors better understand these conditions and improve care.
Miami, FloridaAges Any age - NCT07608432RecruitingPhase 3
Testing a New DMD Treatment Given Every 4 Weeks
This study tests whether a new medicine called zeleciment rostudirsen can help ambulatory (walking) males with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). The medicine is given as an intravenous infusion (through a vein) every 4 weeks and works by helping the body produce a protective muscle protein.
Hillsborough, North CarolinaAges 4–18 - NCT07289620Recruiting
Nerve block boosters for kids' leg surgery
This study tests whether adding dexamethasone, dexmedetomidine, or both to a numbing shot (nerve block) provides better pain relief after leg surgery in children. The goal is to find which combination works best to keep your child comfortable with fewer side effects.
PoznanAges 3–12 - NCT07167927Recruiting
Decision support tool for children with neuromuscular scoliosis
Researchers are developing a decision support tool to help parents and doctors make decisions about surgery for children with neuromuscular scoliosis. The tool aims to provide clear information and support during the consultation.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 8 years+ - NCT02851043Recruiting
Non-invasive monitor to measure breathing
This study tests a device that checks breathing without needles or painful procedures. It may help doctors learn how well breathing can be measured in people with mild breathing problems, or in healthy volunteers.
Wilmington, DelawareAges 11–17 - NCT07021638Recruiting
Walking training at home in virtual reality for children with chronic illnesses
This trial tests a home-based walking program using virtual reality games to help children with chronic conditions like cerebral palsy, obesity, or neuromuscular disease improve their walking and physical activity. It's designed to see if training at home with VR is effective and enjoyable.
AngersAges 6–17 - NCT06258837Recruiting
Personalized surgery for sleep apnea in children with small tonsils
This study tests a personalized surgical approach for children with moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea who have small tonsils. The goal is to see if tailored surgery improves their breathing during sleep and overall health.
Ann Arbor, MichiganAges 2–17 - NCT07531498Recruiting
Muscle aging study for childhood cancer survivors
This study looks at muscle health and aging in adults who had childhood cancer. Researchers want to see how muscle mass and strength change over time and what factors (like past treatments) might affect this.
Memphis, TennesseeAges 18 years+ - NCT07405333Recruiting
Coughing exercises vs breathing device after heart surgery in children
This study compares simple coughing exercises with a breathing device (incentive spirometry) to help children recover lung function faster after heart surgery. It may help reduce complications and shorten hospital stays.
Baghdad, Baghdad GovernorateAges 6–18 - NCT05805410Recruiting
Trunk therapy in children with spastic cerebral palsy
This study looks at how special trunk (core) exercises or positioning affect movement and muscle control in children with spastic cerebral palsy (CP). It may help families understand which trunk-focused interventions improve function and comfort.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 4–12 - NCT07744022Recruiting
Exercise comparison for children with obesity
This study compares two types of exercise programs — progressive neuromuscular stabilization exercises versus aerobic exercises — to see which one better improves body composition and balance in children with obesity. It aims to find a fun, effective way to help kids move better and feel healthier.
IstanbulAges 12–18 - NCT06934278RecruitingPhase 3
Plasma vs salt water for scoliosis surgery in kids
This study compares two types of fluids—one made from donated human blood plasma and one a standard salt-solution—given during scoliosis surgery in children and teenagers. The goal is to see which fluid helps patients recover safely and with fewer complications.
HelsinkiAges 10–21 - NCT05569122RecruitingPhase 1
Studying an MRI contrast method in mitochondrial muscle disease
This Phase 1 study tests a special MRI approach (using a contrast agent) to better measure changes in muscles in people with mitochondrial diseases. It also includes some healthy volunteers and other critically ill patients to compare results and check safety.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for neuromuscular diseases in children?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 21 recruiting neuromuscular diseases in children 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 neuromuscular diseases in children 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 neuromuscular diseases in children 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.
