Brain function in Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system, Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
This study looks at how Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) affects thinking and brain function in children and teens. It compares DMD patients with healthy kids of the same age. Participation may help researchers understand how to better support brain health in DMD.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be a boy between the ages of 5 and 18.
- You must have a confirmed diagnosis of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD), including genetic testing.
- You must not have other medical conditions that affect thinking, such as diabetes, thyroid issues, or a history of head injury.
- You must not be on a breathing machine (ventilator) that prevents you from speaking or answering questions.
- You must be able to see, hear, and speak well enough to answer questions (without severe hearing loss, blindness, or speech delay).
- You and your family must agree to take part in the study.

This study looks at how thinking skills (like planning and memory) affect everyday activities such as dressing or playing in children with Duchenne muscular dystrophy. It aims to find ways to help kids do better in their daily lives.
This study follows boys with Duchenne muscular dystrophy over time to better understand how the condition changes and how standard treatments affect health and function. It does not appear to test a new medicine, but it may help doctors plan better future care and studies.
This study uses MRI scans and blood or other biomarkers to better understand muscular dystrophy in people with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) and Becker muscular dystrophy (BMD). It may help researchers track disease changes and identify measurable markers over time.
This study follows people with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (a muscle-weakening condition) to track how the disease progresses over time. By collecting this data, researchers hope to better understand the condition and improve future care.
This study looks at how DMD affects brain function, especially thinking and social skills. It aims to find new ways to help children with DMD learn and interact better.
This study looks at how to measure behavioral and emotional challenges in boys with Duchenne or Becker muscular dystrophy, and in boys without the condition. It aims to find better ways to assess these issues, which could help improve care and treatments.
