About this study

Official title: Assessing the Effect of the MYODM Food Supplement on Quality of Life, Fatigue and Hypersomnia in Patients With Myotonic Dystrophy Type 1

The purpose of this study is to determine whether MYODM (formulated composition containing Theobroma cacao supplemented with caffeine (caffeine/theobromine ratio1/1.85, w/w) is effective in the treatment of excessive daytime sleepiness due to myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) and improves the quality of life of these patients.

Read the detailed description

Detailed Description:

Myotonic Dystrophy type I (DM1) is the most common form of adult muscular dystrophy, affecting 1 in 8000 individuals. It is an autosomal dominant disorder with multisystemic involvement of multiple organs and tissues, mainly brain, heart, endocrine system, eyes and both smooth and skeletal muscles.

Hypersomnolence is one of the most frequently reported symptoms in patients with DM1 and often lead to handicap such as cessation of employment and withdrawal from social activities. The present project is a 6 month randomized study to assess the effect of MYODM on fatigue, hypersomnia and quality of life in DM1 patients.The patients will be randomized to one of the two study arms. The active arm will receive the MYODM treatment and the control arm will not but both will follow the same evaluation program.

Patients will come to the center every 3 months for evaluations.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Change in Individualized Neuromuscular Quality of Life (INQoL) Mean Scores

    Scores from the self-administered INQoL questionnaire will be compared at the start of the study (Month 0) and at the end (Month 6) among the MYODM treated group and the control group. Scores range from 0-100, with 100 being a better outcome.

    Measured: Screening, Month 3, Month 6

  2. Change in Individualized Short Form-36 (SF-36) Mean Scores

    Scores from the self-administered SF-36 questionnaire will be measured at the start of the study (Month 0), and at the end (Month 6) among patients in the MYODM-treated group and control group. Mean scores range from 0 (minimum) - 100 (maximum) with higher mean scores reflecting better outcomes.

    Measured: Screening, Month 3, Month 6

  3. Change in Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) Scores

    ESS score range is 0-24; lower ESS scores indicate less daytime sleepiness; higher ESS scores indicate more severe sleepiness

    Measured: Screening, Month 3, Month 6

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Change in Physical activity and daytime sleepiness measured with GeneActiv actometer

    Measured: Screening, Baseline, Month 6
