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 uses ultrasound to look at nerves in people with peripheral neuropathy. It may help doctors better understand the condition.
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 painless electrical method to record how muscles and nerves work over time. It aims to better understand normal patterns (healthy volunteers) and to learn how these signals change in people with neuromuscular or movement-related conditions.
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 ultrasound (sound waves) to look at muscles in people with limb-girdle muscular dystrophy. It helps doctors see how the muscles are affected without needing a biopsy.
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.
