Wearable Technology for Hyperglycemia and Heart Health in Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy

This observational study is looking at how wearable technology can help us understand hyperglycemia (high blood sugar) and heart rate variability (HRV, which reflects how well your heart adapts to different situations) in Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD). We want to see if these factors are linked to heart problems in DMD. You might be able to join if you are a male with DMD, at least 10 years old, and do not have diabetes. The study will measure your rate of hyperglycemia over 10 days at five different times, and your HRV over 7 days at five different times. This research could help us find better ways to screen for and treat heart issues in DMD. The study is currently unclear on its recruitment status and plans to enroll about 10 participants.

Study design
This is an observational study, meaning participants will be monitored without receiving a specific intervention beyond the wearable devices. It aims to enroll approximately 10 male participants.
What's involved
You would wear three different wearable devices. Your rate of hyperglycemia will be measured over 10 days at five time points, and your heart rate variability will be measured over 7 days at five time points.
Compensation
Not stated in the trial record.
Follow-up
Measurements for hyperglycemia are taken over 10 days at five time points, and for HRV over 7 days at five time points. It is unclear if there is follow-up beyond these measurement periods.
