Exercise program for kids with Marfan syndrome
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Genetic & congenital, Heart & circulation, Skin clinical trials.
This trial studies an adapted physical activity (exercise) program to support effort rehabilitation in children and teens with Marfan syndrome. It may help safely improve activity and fitness while monitoring heart-related risks.

This study collects biological samples and related health information for people with Marfan syndrome or similar inherited conditions. It helps researchers better understand these conditions and may lead to improved care for patients in the future.
This trial studies whether doing moderate exercise is safe and helpful for people with Marfan syndrome. It aims to see how exercise affects heart and health measures, like how the aorta and body respond over time.
This study looks at how daily physical activity levels relate to health and emotional well-being in adults with Marfan syndrome. You would complete an online questionnaire in Spanish, and the results may help improve future care and activity guidance.
This study looks at skin cells (fibroblasts) from people with Marfan syndrome or other genetic conditions that cause thoracic aortic aneurysms. The goal is to understand how these cells behave, which may help improve future treatments.
This trial tests whether a ketogenic diet (a diet high in fat and low in carbs) can help people with Marfan syndrome who have a chronic aortic dissection. The diet may reduce inflammation and slow the growth of the aortic aneurysm, potentially delaying the need for surgery.
This trial tests an adapted physical activity program to help children and teenagers rebuild strength and improve effort/fitness. It may be helpful if you want a tailored exercise approach that is safe for osteogenesis imperfecta.
