Follow-up of NIV At Home in Patients with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy
Status: Recruiting
Location: See location...
Intervention Type: Diagnostic test
Study Type: Observational
SUMMARY
The aim of this study is to verify whether full video home polysomnography (sleep study) with nocturnal transcutaneous CO2 monitoring is feasible in the follow-up of non-invasive ventilation (NIV) in patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy. The researchers would like to investigate whether they could perform sufficient measurements in the home situation and see if correct decision for further treatment could be made. Furthermore, the researchers will make an analysis on the minimal requirements of measurements to make a correct decision for the treatment of these patients.
