Study of Muscle Health Using Electrical Impedance Myography
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system, Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
This study uses a simple electrical test (EIM) and an MRI scan to check muscle health in people with muscle diseases. It may help researchers learn how to measure muscle changes without a biopsy.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 89 years old
- You have a muscle disease (myopathy) confirmed by a doctor's review of your medical records
- You can lie flat without claustrophobia, and have no metal in your body that would prevent an MRI
- You do not have severe leg swelling, severe obesity (BMI over 35), or skin ulcers that block electrode placement
- You are not pregnant and have no other major leg muscle conditions

This study looks at muscle tissue samples to improve imaging techniques. It may help doctors better understand muscle conditions.
This study uses a quick, painless electrical test to measure muscle health in people with nerve or muscle disorders and in healthy volunteers. It aims to learn how these measurements change over time, which may help diagnose and monitor these conditions better.
This study uses MRI scans to measure muscle changes in people with myotonic dystrophy (DM1 or DM2) and healthy volunteers. The goal is to find better ways to track the disease over time.
This study tests whether special MRI scans can help evaluate neuromuscular (muscle/nerve) diseases. It may help doctors better assess muscle involvement and support diagnosis and evaluation.
This study tests a device called Myolex mScan that measures muscle health non-invasively in people with ALS. It aims to see if this can be a useful biomarker to track the disease progression.
This study compares two imaging methods, MRI and ultrasound, to see how well they measure muscle health. It may help find better ways to monitor muscle conditions without invasive tests.
