Quality of Life and CMT Research
Did you know that 95% of clinical trials fail? There are multiple causes, most related to efficacy or safety, which obviously can be harmful and risky for patients. The risk-reward of enrolling in trials is a judgment call based on the devastating effects of disease related to quality of life (QoL) or life-threatening disease. With CMT, the risk-reward is more of a challenging question for many, as CMT in most cases is non-fatal.
Foods That Help Muscle Recovery
If you have Charcot-Marie-Tooth, moderate exercise is usually best, especially when combined with a healthy diet.
