Bone health survey for adults with Duchenne muscular dystrophy
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system, Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
This study uses a survey to learn about bone health in adults with Duchenne muscular dystrophy. It looks at bone density, fractures, and current treatments to better understand and improve care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a confirmed diagnosis of Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), usually through genetic testing or a muscle sample analysis.
- You are 18 years of age or older.
- You are not currently enrolled in another clinical study.
- You do not have severe breathing problems requiring round-the-clock breathing assistance or a tracheostomy.
- You have not had surgery for scoliosis (a curved spine), and you can have a DXA scan (a type of X-ray for bone density).

This study follows adults with Duchenne muscular dystrophy to track how their breathing changes over time. It aims to understand the natural progress of respiratory function, which may help improve future care and treatment planning.
This study looks at how scoliosis (curved spine) and back pain affect daily life in people with Duchenne muscular dystrophy. Researchers will measure muscle strength and compensation patterns to understand these links.
This study tracks development and health in young boys with Duchenne muscular dystrophy during the first three years of life. It aims to better understand early signs and how the condition progresses, which may help improve care and future treatments.
This study looks at what helps or makes it harder for children with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (a muscle-weakening condition) to stay active. It involves parents answering questionnaires to share their child's daily activity and challenges, which may help guide future care and support.
This study uses remote technology, like apps or wearable devices, to monitor motor skills and development in boys with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). It aims to find better ways to measure how the disease progresses over time without requiring frequent clinic visits.
This study uses a small wearable device (called Syde) to track arm and hand movement in boys with Duchenne who can no longer walk. The goal is to see if this device can help doctors understand how arm function changes over time, which may guide future care.
