Brain function study for young people with Duchenne muscular dystrophy
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system, Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
This study looks at how Duchenne muscular dystrophy may affect brain function in children and teens. It compares thinking and brain activity in boys with DMD to that of healthy boys the same age, which could help improve care and support.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Must be male, aged 5 to 18 years
- Diagnosis of Duchenne muscular dystrophy must be confirmed by genetic testing
- No other medical conditions that affect thinking, such as diabetes, thyroid problems, or a history of head injury
- No other type of muscular dystrophy
- Must be able to hear, see, speak, and answer questions without help from a breathing machine
