Filter by:The randomized controlled trial is aimed to discover the physiotherapy and hippotherapy effect and efficacy on children with SMA. The concept is to utilized two types of physiotherapy - the first concept is classic physiotherapy and the second one is hippotherapy. The hippotherapy concept will be in intervals of 15 minutes twice a day, the physiotherapy will be in intervals of 30 minutes once a day. In-patient therapy will be for 6 days. The efficacy will be assessed by biomedical measures - Qualisys Motion Capture Systems 2020.3., by molecular biological markers (lncRNA) in blood and by surface electromyography (EMG). The primary goal of this study is to compare two physiotherapeutic approaches - the recommended form of classical physiotherapy and the method on a neurophysiological basis - hippotherapy. The secondary intention of the research will be the appropriate intensity of therapy so that unwanted muscle fatigue does not occur.
A multi-center, longitudinal, prospective, non-comparative study to investigate the long-term safety and effectiveness of risdiplam, prescribed based on clinician judgment as per the Evrysdi® U.S. Package Insert (USPI) in adult and pediatric participants with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA). In this study, participants will be followed for up to 5 years from enrollment or until withdrawal of consent, loss to follow-up, or death. Participants who discontinue risdiplam may still remain in the study, if they agree to continue participating in the follow-up assessments.
This is an observational study to investigate the improvement of NMJ defects in adult patients with SMA following treatment with Risdiplam. Eligible patients will have received treatment with daily oral Risdiplam after receiving approval through their commercial insurance or drug assistance program. All subjects will be evaluated at one visit. Eligible subjects must have been receiving risdiplam for at least 12 months.
This is a longitudinal, multiple-center, observational study of patients genetically confirmed chromosome 5q SMA to monitor the efficacy, safety, tolerability of SPINRAZA® (nusinersen) for up to 24 months.
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate motor function following treatment with HD nusinersen in participants with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) previously treated with risdiplam. The secondary objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of HD nusinersen in participants with SMA previously treated with risdiplam.
Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) prenatal carrier screening is recommended by American College of Medical Genetics (ACMG) and American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology (ACOG). However, in Thailand, there are no standard protocol for SMA prenatal carrier screening.
The aim of the study is to propose a method for quantifying motor function in infants with spinal muscular atrophy treated with innovative therapies using inertial sensors.
The purpose of this study is to investigate if a person with weakness or paralysis in one or both arms, can use the NuroSleeve combined powered arm brace (orthosis) and muscle stimulation system to help restore movement in one arm sufficient to perform daily activities. This study could lead to the development of a product that could allow people with arm weakness or arm paralysis to use the NuroSleeve and similar devices to improve arm health and independent function.
The major aim of this project is to assess comprehensively frequency and extent of dysphagia and bulbar dysfunction in SMA1, 2, and 3 patients by applying FEES and validated dysphagia scores. Further aims are to follow changes of dysphagia over time in newly diagnosed patients, and in subjects starting treatment with one of the new therapeutic SMA drugs. Special attention will be paid to subjects treated with Risdiplam. If applicable, the data will be compared between groups receiving different drugs.
The "SMOB" project intends to contribute to fill the gap with reliable and operational outcome measures for type III and IV SMA. In analysing the reliability in imaging (spinal and muscular), electrophysiology analysis (MUNIX), and evaluate the evolution of respiratory function for 50 patients' cohort. The investigators would also take the opportunity to collect biologic samples in order to investigate genetic markers and to assess quality of life of patients by QoL-gNMD questionnaire. The investigators aim to build a database that will allow us to evaluate the effectiveness of a new therapy for adult SMA patients by studying the natural history of the disease. The investigators have distributed the various expertise in Work Package where several centers are involved. This study is original in that it evaluates the parameters of qMRI and MUNIX in correlation with blood biomarkers. To our knowledge, there are no quantitative MRI (spinal and muscular) biomarkers and/or electrophysiological (MUNIX technique) highlighted for tracking the progression of the adult form of SMA type III and IV. This pilot study would allow identification of predictive markers of the disease progression, and to have validated, sensitive to change and relevant measurement tools that could be used as endpoints in future therapeutic trials.
