Breathing and movement study for neuromuscular disease
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system, Genetic & congenital, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at breathing, chest and belly movement, and exercise ability in people with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy or Spinal Muscular Atrophy, as well as healthy people. The goal is to compare these functions to help understand how these diseases affect the body.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- Must be at least 5 years old
- Must be able to breathe without help from a machine
- Must be willing to take part in the study and follow instructions
- No history of lung surgery
- No severe heart failure
- No thinking or memory problems that would make it hard to do the tests

This trial tests a 5-week digital breathing exercise program for children with Duchenne or Becker muscular dystrophy. It aims to improve lung function using simple exercises done at home.
This study assesses physical activity in people with different muscle diseases (like Duchenne, FSHD, and others) and in healthy volunteers. It helps doctors understand how these conditions affect daily movement and function.
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 measures how strong and how long your breathing muscles can work. It will help doctors better understand how multiple sclerosis affects breathing and find healthy cut-off values to guide therapy.
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.
This study tests whether children with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (a genetic muscle-weakening condition) can improve their breathing strength and function by doing guided exercises at home using video calls with a therapist. The goal is to help children breathe better and stay as active as possible.
