Social thinking in muscular dystrophy and related conditions
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system, Genetic & congenital, Skin clinical trials.
This study looks at how people with certain muscle conditions (Duchenne/Becker muscular dystrophy or osteogenesis imperfecta) understand social situations and the emotions of others. By comparing results with a control group, researchers hope to learn more about social thinking in these conditions, which could help improve support and care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You or your child must have a diagnosis of Duchenne or Becker muscular dystrophy (confirmed by genetic, biopsy, or clinical testing) or osteogenesis imperfecta.
- Ambulatory and non-ambulatory patients are welcome (you can walk or use a wheelchair).
- You cannot have any other major medical or psychiatric condition alongside the main diagnosis.
- You must not have significant uncorrected vision or hearing loss.
- No need for a feeding tube, tracheostomy, or breathing machine (assisted ventilation).
- Cognitive (thinking) ability must be at a certain minimum level — a score of at least 60 on a standard test.
