Myotonic Dystrophy definition

Myotonic dystrophy is an inherited type of muscular dystrophy that affects the muscles and other body systems. People who have myotonic dystrophy have muscle wasting and weakness in their lower legs, hands, neck and face that get worse over time.

Supplements that help with Myotonic Dystrophy

  • Creatine for Myotonic Dystrophy

test
Slightly Positive

Twenty patients received either Cr or placebo for 3 months. After 3 months, there were no significant differences of muscle strength as assessed by hand-held dynamometry, testing of maximum grip strength, Medical Research Council scoring, and the Neuromuscular Symptom Score between the two groups. Some measures indicated trends toward mild improvement with Cr. Myalgia improved in two patients.
test
Slightly Positive

There was no significant improvement using manual and quantitative muscle strength, daily-life activities, and patients' own global assessment comparing verum with placebo administration. Cr supplementation was well tolerated without clinically relevant side effects, but did not result in significant improvement of muscle strength or daily-life activities.
test
Slightly Positive

CrM supplementation did not increase any of the outcome measurements except for plasma creatinine concentration (but not creatinine clearance). Thus, CrM supplementation at 5 g daily does not have any effects on muscle strength, body composition, or activities of daily living in patients with DM1, perhaps because of a failure of the supplementation to increase muscle PCr/beta-ATP content.
