ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying a new way to measure how well the muscles in the face and mouth work in people with Facioscapulohumeral Muscular Dystrophy (FSHD). The researchers believe that using different types of mouthpieces during breathing tests can help identify problems with these muscles. By measuring how much pressure is exerted while breathing out, they aim to find a reliable method for assessing orofacial muscle function in individuals affected by FSHD.

To participate in this trial, individuals must have a genetic diagnosis of FSHD type 1 or type 2 and be between the ages of 5 and 23. Unfortunately, those who are pregnant, have other serious muscle disorders, or are dealing with unstable health issues cannot take part. If you join the study, you can expect to help researchers improve understanding of muscle function in FSHD, which may lead to better treatments in the future. The trial is currently looking for participants, and everyone is welcome to apply, regardless of gender.
