Home-Based Breathing Therapy for Children With Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests whether children with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (a genetic muscle-weakening condition) can improve their breathing strength and function by doing guided exercises at home using video calls with a therapist. The goal is to help children breathe better and stay as active as possible.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child is at least 3 years old
- Your child has been genetically diagnosed with Duchenne muscular dystrophy
- Your child can understand instructions and participate in therapy exercises
- Your child does not need a breathing machine during the day (nighttime non-invasive masks are okay)
- Your child has not had major surgery in the past 3 months and none is planned during the study
- Your child does not have a history of brain or spinal cord injury, or severe cognitive difficulties that would prevent participation
