Monitoring non-invasive ventilation at home for patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This study aims to assess the feasibility of using full video home polysomnography combined with nocturnal transcutaneous CO2 monitoring to follow up on non-invasive ventilation (NIV) in patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). Researchers will evaluate whether adequate measurements can be obtained in a home setting to inform treatment decisions. Additionally, the study will analyze the minimal measurement requirements necessary for effective treatment planning for these patients.
