Clinical trials and research studies are vitally important to improving health and quality of life for people with Duchenne muscular dystrophy. Clinical trials are research studies in humans designed to study if an experimental therapy or treatment works. The importance of this research must be balanced with the need for each family to carefully decide if trial participation is right for them.
