Understanding brain and muscle changes in Becker muscular dystrophy
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system, Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
This study looks at how Becker muscular dystrophy affects the brain and muscles using imaging, thinking tests, and muscle function checks. It aims to learn more about the condition to improve care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a confirmed genetic diagnosis of Becker muscular dystrophy
- You can walk without assistance
- You are willing to sign a consent form
- You do not have any metal implants or other reasons that make MRI unsafe
- You do not have severe heart or lung problems, cancer, or other conditions that could affect the study

This study uses MRI scans and blood or other biomarkers to better understand muscular dystrophy in people with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) and Becker muscular dystrophy (BMD). It may help researchers track disease changes and identify measurable markers over time.
This study uses MRI scans and artificial intelligence to better understand muscle changes in people with inherited muscle diseases. The results may help doctors plan treatments and monitor these conditions more accurately.
This study uses a new type of ultrasound scan to look at muscle health in people with Duchenne or Becker muscular dystrophy. It aims to find better ways to track the disease over time.
This study follows women who have a confirmed DMD gene mutation (a genetic change related to Duchenne/Becker muscular dystrophy) to learn more about health and muscle-related measurements. Depending on the part of the study, you may be asked to take part in MRI or other assessments.
This study looks at heart health in people with Duchenne or Becker muscular dystrophy to find better ways to predict and track heart problems. The goal is to improve future treatment trials.
This study collects blood and, for some people, muscle tissue to look for signs (biomarkers) that can help track and better understand myotonic dystrophy. You may help by providing samples and basic muscle function testing, depending on your age and condition type.
