Long-term monitoring of breathing support at home for Duchenne patients
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system, Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
This study follows adults with Duchenne muscular dystrophy who use a breathing machine (non-invasive ventilation or NIV) at home. It aims to track their health over time to improve care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be older than 18 years.
- You have Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD).
- You use a breathing support device (NIV) at home.

This study looks at people in Denmark who need a home ventilator through a tracheostomy. It aims to understand their care and outcomes over several years.
This study checks breathing/sleep measurements done at home for people who recently started a machine that helps them breathe without an endotracheal tube. It may help the team confirm how well home monitoring works after hospital setup of this breathing support.
This study helps find the best night-time settings for a non-invasive breathing support device (a machine that helps breathing without a tube). It may help people with motor neurone disease start long-term breathing support more comfortably and effectively.
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.
This trial tests whether using a non-invasive ventilator (a breathing machine with a mask) at home can help people with severe COPD who have high carbon dioxide levels in their blood. It aims to improve breathing and reduce the need for hospital visits.
This study compares two ways of starting non-invasive ventilation (NIV) — a breathing machine — for people with motor neurone disease (MND). It aims to see if starting NIV at home is as safe and effective as starting it in the hospital.
