This study is exploring a new technique called Electrical Impedance Myography (EIM) to help understand muscle and nerve conditions. EIM uses a mild, painless electrical current to see how it travels through muscles. Researchers want to learn more about how EIM works in people with neuromuscular diseases (conditions affecting nerves and muscles) and healthy volunteers. They will compare EIM results with other standard tests like nerve and muscle ultrasonography, nerve conduction studies (which measure how fast nerves send signals), and electromyography (EMG, which records muscle electrical activity). The goal is to see if EIM can help tell different neuromuscular disorders apart and if it could be used to track changes over time. Adults and children aged 2 to 110 years can participate.

Study design

This is an interventional study with a planned enrollment of 275 participants, including both healthy volunteers and individuals with neuromuscular disorders.

What's involved

You would undergo EIM testing, nerve and muscle ultrasonography, and nerve conduction studies. Adults may also have electromyography (EMG).

Compensation

Not stated in the trial record.

Follow-up

EIM measures for muscles will be taken at the end of the study for both patients and healthy volunteers.
