Muscle imaging study using tissue samples
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study looks at muscle tissue samples to improve imaging techniques. It may help doctors better understand muscle conditions.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years old or older.
- You must have given your oral consent to participate.
- You must be having a biopsy (a small tissue sample taken) as part of your regular medical care.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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.
This study uses imaging to look at the muscles involved in swallowing and speaking in people with certain muscle diseases, like inclusion body myositis or ALS. The goal is to better understand these conditions, which might help improve care in the future.
This research study helps doctors better understand myositis—a group of rare diseases that cause muscle inflammation and weakness. Researchers collect blood samples, medical history, and sometimes muscle biopsies to learn more about what causes these conditions and how to treat them better.
This study follows adults who have (or are being evaluated for) inflammatory muscle conditions to collect health data and genetic test information. It may help researchers better understand these diseases and improve future care.
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 looks at adults with myositis (muscle inflammation) who also have heart problems, to learn more about the condition and how to treat it. It may help doctors better understand and care for people with this combination of issues.
