Testing treatment for people with certain mitochondrial DNA changes
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at how much “mitochondrial DNA” mutation is in your body and what that means for people with specific genetic changes in muscle. It may help researchers better understand the condition and how to track response over time.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests whether personalized home exercise plus video check-ins are safe and helpful for people with mitochondrial myopathy. It aims to improve function and comfort while checking that the program is tolerable over time.
This study tests a tiny sensor that measures oxygen levels in muscle. It will help researchers understand how oxygen is used during exercise. If you have mitochondrial myopathy or are a healthy volunteer, you might be able to join.
This study looks at a new way to measure mitochondrial DNA in muscle fibers. It may help people who have a suspected mitochondrial disorder and a genetic change of uncertain significance.
This study looks for the cause of suspected mitochondrial diseases by combining multiple lab tests on muscle and skin samples, plus genetic testing results. If your current gene tests didn’t find an answer, this could help researchers learn what might be causing your condition.
This study looks at immune system problems in people with mitochondrial diseases. It involves a blood draw to understand how the immune system works in these patients.
This study observes people with primary mitochondrial muscle diseases over time to better understand how symptoms change. It may help improve future care by learning patterns of muscle weakness, fatigue, and related complications.
