Trial summary

Myotonic Dystrophy type 1 (DM1) is a genetic multisystem disease causing muscle weakness and myotonia. As a result, upper limb function might become impaired. There are little research regarding rehabilitation and exercise for upper limb function in DM1. Read more about this study

About this study

Myotonic Dystrophy type 1 (DM1) is a genetic multisystem disease causing muscle weakness and myotonia. As a result, upper limb function might become impaired. There are little research regarding rehabilitation and exercise for upper limb function in DM1. It is known from research on lower limb function in DM1 and other muscular dystrophies, that there are possibilities to improve function also in these deteriorating diseases. In this single subject experimental design study, 6-10 adults with DM1, who are at an inpatient rehabilitation center, will get intensive, but personally adapted senso- and robot assisted rehabilitation for arm- and hand function with Tyromotion Amadeo and Armeo Senso. These devices have previously been used in rehabilitation research for other neurological conditions. The participants will be followed up, and evaluated at a weekly basis, using video consultations. Fine motor skill dexterity test (9HPT) and the Nut and Bolt test will be used, and active range of motion (ROM) and muscle strenght and movement of upper limb will be measured. Furthermore, patient reported outcome measures (PROMS) on hand impairment and myotonia will be used, all with purpose to evaluate upper limb function.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Tyromotion Amadeo and Armeo Senso in people with Myotonic Dystrophy Type 1 (DM1), run by University of Oslo at 1 site in Norway.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 14 May 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Norway. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Fine motor skill dexterity test, 9 hole peg test (9HPT) (time frame: 1-3 minutes). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 14 May 2024.
