Scoliosis, pain, and quality of life in Duchenne muscular dystrophy
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system, Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
This study looks at how scoliosis (curved spine) and back pain affect daily life in people with Duchenne muscular dystrophy. Researchers will measure muscle strength and compensation patterns to understand these links.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a confirmed diagnosis of Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD).
- You are between 10 and 29 years old.
- Your arm function is limited (Brooke Scale score between 2 and 5).
- Your shoulder abductor muscle strength is below grade 3 (on a standard muscle test).

This study looks at what helps or makes it harder for children with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (a muscle-weakening condition) to stay active. It involves parents answering questionnaires to share their child's daily activity and challenges, which may help guide future care and support.
This study uses a small wearable device (called Syde) to track arm and hand movement in boys with Duchenne who can no longer walk. The goal is to see if this device can help doctors understand how arm function changes over time, which may guide future care.
This study uses remote technology, like apps or wearable devices, to monitor motor skills and development in boys with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). It aims to find better ways to measure how the disease progresses over time without requiring frequent clinic visits.
This study tracks development and health in young boys with Duchenne muscular dystrophy during the first three years of life. It aims to better understand early signs and how the condition progresses, which may help improve care and future treatments.
This study looks at how Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) affects the stiffness of muscles in the upper limbs (arms and shoulders). The goal is to better understand muscle changes and help improve care.
This study looks at how children and teens with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) or spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) walk, by having them do walking tests while wearing sensors. The goal is to find better ways to track how these diseases progress and how treatments work over time, without needing blood tests or scans.
