Metabolic Exercise Testing

Exercise Testing in Metabolic Myopathies

Sponsor

University Hospital, Brest

Enrollment

1,000 participants

Start Date

Sep 1, 2008

Study Type

OBSERVATIONAL

Conditions

metabolic myopathies Exercise Test Myalgia

Summary

Exertional symptoms are the hallmarks of metabolic myopathies, supporting the concept of using functional tests when this diagnosis is suspected. Exercise increases the concentration of muscle metabolites in the venous blood supply (e.g. lactate, pyruvate, and ammonia) especially during recovery. The purpose of this study is to compare the results of exercise testing with to the data from muscle biopsy or genetic analysis.

Eligibility

Min Age: 5 Years

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study is collecting data from patients who are referred to Brest Hospital's Physiology Department for a metabolic exercise test — a test that measures how your heart, lungs, and muscles work together during physical activity. The data gathered will help researchers better understand metabolic responses to exercise across a wide range of patients and conditions. You may be eligible if: - You are 5 years or older - You have been referred to the Physiology Department of Brest Hospital for a metabolic exercise test - You are able to provide informed consent You may NOT be eligible if: - You have a medical contraindication to cardiopulmonary exercise testing (as outlined in international guidelines) - You are pregnant or your pregnancy status is unknown Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.

This summary was AI-generated to explain the trial in plain language. It is not medical advice. Always discuss eligibility with your doctor before enrolling in a clinical trial.
