Resistance Exercise for Charcot-Marie-Tooth Disease
Part of Brain & nervous system, Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
This trial tests whether resistance exercises (like lifting weights with your legs) can help people with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease. It is for young adults aged 15 to 29 who can move their ankle enough to do strength training.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 15 and 29 years old
- You have a diagnosis of Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (any type)
- You can move your ankle upward to at least a flat (0°) position
- You have not had any surgery in the past
- You have not done a resistance exercise program in the last 6 months
- You are not taking supplements like protein, creatine, or amino acids

This study compares two approaches to improve walking in people with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease: surgery to correct foot problems followed by rehabilitation, versus physical therapy alone. It aims to see which option works better over time.
This study looks at how CMT affects walking, balance, and movement. It compares two groups of people with CMT: those who use an ankle-foot orthosis (AFO) and those who have had surgery to correct a foot deformity. The goal is to understand which approach works better for improving mobility.
This study examines tremor (involuntary shaking) in people with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, a genetic nerve condition that affects the legs and feet. Researchers will compare people with CMT who have tremor to healthy volunteers to better understand this symptom.
This study tests a personalized exercise program for people with rare neuromuscular diseases like FSHD, DM1, or CMT to see if it improves their physical function and quality of life.
This study uses motion analysis to understand walking and arm function in adults with certain neurological or metabolic diseases. The goal is to find patterns that help doctors better manage these conditions.
This study tests whether whole-body electrical muscle stimulation (using small electrodes on the skin) can help adults with certain neuromuscular diseases exercise and improve muscle strength. It may be an option if you can stand for about 15 minutes at a time and have some muscle strength left.
