View clinical trials related to Spinal Muscular Atrophy Type 3.
Filter by:The primary aim is to characterize the prevalence, severity and quality of musculoskeletal nociceptive pain in adult patients with neuromuscular disorders (NMD). The secondary objectives are to evaluate whether severity and distribution of muscle pain is associated with muscle function, and to assess whether muscle pain is associated with alterations of muscle elasticity and muscle stiffness. Results of patients with neuromuscular disorders will be compared to age- and gender-matched healthy volunteers. Approx. 70 patients with neuromuscular disorders and 20 healthy volunteers will be enrolled, including patients with the following neuromuscular disorders: histologically confirmed inclusion body myositis (IBM), genetically confirmed late-onset Pompe disease (LOPD), genetically confirmed spinal muscular atrophy type 3 (SMA3), genetically confirmed facio-scapulo-humeral muscle dystrophy (FSHD), genetically confirmed myotonic dystrophy type 1 or type 2 (DM1, DM2). The duration of patient recruitment will be around 12 months.
The purpose of this project is to devise instrumented insoles capable of accurately measuring gait at each footfall, over multiple hours in any environment. To achieve high accuracy, the investigators will develop a new learning-based calibration framework. Features will be tested in controlled lab settings 39 during a single visit in people with SMA (13), DMD (13) and healthy controls (13) and in 15 participants in real-life environments.
The TOPAZ study will assess the safety and efficacy of SRK-015 in later-onset Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA Type 2 and Type 3) in pediatric and adult patients.
This proposal will focus on (1) estimating oxidative capacity of specific muscle groups during exercise using near infrared spectroscopy and (2) describing body composition to better understand exercise capacity and mitochondrial function in ambulatory spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) patients and disease controls. It is a 6-month observational study including 14 ambulatory SMA patients, 14 ambulatory patients with mitochondrial myopathy, and 14 healthy controls.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate safety and efficacy of anti-cholinesterase therapy on the motor function in SMA type 3 patients with impaired neuromuscular junction (NMJ).
