Myotonic Dystrophy 1 clinical trials

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.

Evaluation of Cognitive Functions in 20 Patients With Type 1 Myotonic Dystrophy With Virtual Reality Approach

GoodDiagNMD

Start date: November 2023
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Type 1 myotonic dystrophy (MD1) is a genetic and hereditary disease that primarily affects muscle tissue, resulting in myotonia (difficulty relaxing after contraction) and atrophy (progressive muscle weakening with decreased muscle volume). It also affects eyes, heart, endocrine system, gastrointestinal system and central nervous system. Specific cognitive abilities are impaired in patients with MD1 such as attention, visio-spatial or visio-building abilities as well as executive dysfunctions. Currently, the cognitive assessment of MD1 patients is based on classical neuropsychological tests, which are time-consuming and require a MD1 expert neuropsychologist. Moreover, it is usually very difficult for MD1 patients to accept performing these tests, and when they agree to perform them, they usually give up before the end. This finding is more frequent in MD1 patients with high level of cognitive impairment. In order to overcome these difficulties in assessing cognitive functions of MD1 patients, the investigators decided to use innovative tools such as virtual reality, which allow individuals to experience a sensory-motor and cognitive experience in a digitally world through a helmet, glasses and joysticks. The start-up My Cyber Royaume from Lille, in collaboration with the reference center of neuromuscular diseases from Nice coordinated by Pr Sacconi, have developed a software "Good Diag NMD" which uses virtual reality to assess cognitive disorders, more specifically executive functions in patients with type 1 myotonic dystrophy.
