Metabolomic biomarkers for myotonic dystrophy
This study tests whether urine and blood tests, along with muscle function tests, can detect and measure myotonic dystrophy activity and severity without relying on muscle biopsies.
-
Understanding long-term progression in myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1)
This study will follow adults with DM1 for at least four years to see how walking, hand function, muscle strength, heart rhythms, and lung function change over time.

Understanding long-term progression in myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1)
This study will follow adults with DM1 for at least four years to see how walking, hand function, muscle strength, heart rhythms, and lung function change over time.
-
Remote Assessments and Genetic Factors in Congenital and Childhood DM1
This study tests how congenital, childhood, and juvenile DM1 affect kids by doing remote visits, activities, and a small blood sample to explore symptoms and genetics.
-
Spanish National Registry for Myotonic Dystrophy Type 1
This registry gathers health, clinical, and genetic information from people in Spain with DM1 to see how the condition changes over time and help match patients to future trials.
-
Pelvic floor muscle training for women with myotonic dystrophy
This study is testing if pelvic floor muscle training can help women with myotonic dystrophy who have trouble with urinary incontinence feel better.
-
Examining cerebrospinal fluid in myotonic dystrophy
This study is trying to see how changes in the fluid around the brain relate to brain activity in people with Myotonic Dystrophy Type 1 and healthy individuals.
-
Registry for Myotonic Dystrophy and Facioscapulohumeral Muscular Dystrophy
This study is creating a registry for people with myotonic dystrophy or facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy to share their health information and connect with researchers working to learn more about these conditions.
