Exercise training for muscle function in mitochondrial myopathy
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study tests whether exercise training can improve muscle function in adults with mitochondrial myopathy, a condition that affects how muscles produce energy. Participants will follow an exercise program to see if it helps their muscle strength and daily activities.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have a confirmed genetic change (mutation) that causes mitochondrial myopathy.
- You do not have any other medical condition that would make it unsafe to exercise.
- You are not taking any medications that could affect the study results.
- You are not pregnant.
- You are willing and able to complete the study program.

This Phase 1 study tests a special MRI approach (using a contrast agent) to better measure changes in muscles in people with mitochondrial diseases. It also includes some healthy volunteers and other critically ill patients to compare results and check safety.
This study looks for the cause of suspected mitochondrial diseases by combining multiple lab tests on muscle and skin samples, plus genetic testing results. If your current gene tests didn’t find an answer, this could help researchers learn what might be causing your condition.
This early (Phase 1) study checks whether a tiny oxygen-sensing device works reliably while people with mitochondrial muscle disease (and some healthy volunteers) ride a stationary bike. The goal is to see if the sensor can measure oxygen use during exercise and help future monitoring or research.
This study uses an MRI scan of the lower leg to look for signs of muscle problems in people with suspected or confirmed mitochondrial disease, and compares them with healthy volunteers. Participants will lie still in the MRI and do a short, mild exercise during the scan to help the researchers see how muscles work.
This study tests whether short bursts of intense exercise can improve heart and lung function in people with COPD (a chronic lung condition). It aims to see if this type of training is safe and effective.
This study tests whether personalized home exercise plus video check-ins are safe and helpful for people with mitochondrial myopathy. It aims to improve function and comfort while checking that the program is tolerable over time.
