Clinical Trial: Imaging Assessment of Swallowing and Speech Muscles in Inclusion Body Myositis

U.S., Sept. 17 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07823101) titled 'Imaging Assessment of Swallowing and Speech Muscles in Inclusion Body Myositis' on Sept. 11.

Brief Summary: This study will evaluate whether neuromuscular ultrasound and MRI can be used as imaging markers of bulbar involvement and swallowing dysfunction in individuals with inclusion body myositis (IBM). Researchers will compare imaging and clinical findings in participants with IBM with those in participants with other myopathies, ALS, PLS, and healthy volunteers.
