Neuromuscular ultrasound study for healthy people and patients
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system, Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
This study uses an ultrasound scan to look at muscles and nerves (including the breathing muscle). It may help researchers better understand neuromuscular problems and how well ultrasound can detect them.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be an adult age 18 or older.
- You must be in generally good health with conditions controlled (like blood pressure).
- If you have symptoms or a diagnosis, you must have a neuromuscular (nerve or muscle) problem affecting muscles or the breathing diaphragm.
- You must be willing and able to follow all study visits and procedures for the full study.
- You must be able to understand the study and sign a written consent form.
- If you are healthy: you should not have had stroke, muscle disorders, peripheral nerve problems, or spine surgery.

This study is looking at people with inherited (genetic) neurological conditions, as well as their family members, to better understand these diseases. Participants will receive a thorough evaluation, which may help with diagnosis and research.
This study uses a special ultrasound to look at your nerves to better understand peripheral neuropathy (nerve damage). It aims to improve diagnosis and treatment planning without any surgery or needles.
This study tests if ultrasound can find nerve problems in people with Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) and chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP), and if it helps doctors diagnose and predict outcomes early.
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.
This study tests whether special MRI scans can help evaluate neuromuscular (muscle/nerve) diseases. It may help doctors better assess muscle involvement and support diagnosis and evaluation.
This study uses a new type of ultrasound scan to look at muscle health in people with Duchenne or Becker muscular dystrophy. It aims to find better ways to track the disease over time.
