Myotonic Dystrofy type 1 and Dystrofia Myotonica (DM1)
Conditions
Interventions
5.1 Behavioral change intervention
In the OPTIMISTIC STUDY patients in the treatment arm will receive cognitive
behaviour therapy (CBT). CBT is aimed at reducing the level of disabilities of
patien
2) a reduced initiative and 3) suboptimal interaction with
significant others. It is assumed that CBT will reduce these problems and thus
enable DM1 patients to become more active. The intervention

| 2.2 OUTCOMES See Appendix 1 for the trial outcome measurement schedule. 2.2.1 Primary Outcome The primary outcome measure will be the DM1-Activ measured at the end of the 10-month intervention period. DM1-Activ is a specific outcome measure of activity and participation for patients with DM1 [Hermans 2010]. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| 2.2.2 Secondary Outcomes Activity (50 mins) • 6-minute walk test (6MWT) with BORG Scale assessment (0-10 Rating of Perceived Exertion score) • (Activities of Daily Living (ADL) assessment) • Myotonic Dystrophy Health Index (MDHI) • Physical activity measured with actometer (NB: participants take this home after each visit and wear for 2 weeks). Fatigue and sleepiness (10 mins) • Fatigue and Daytime Sleepiness Scale (FDSS) • Checklist Individual Strength (CIS) fatigue Quality of life (20 mins) • Individualised Neuromuscular Quality of Life Questionnaire (InQoL) Mood (15 mins) • Beck Depression Inventory for Primary Care Cognitive (20 mins) • Apathy evaluation scale (AES) • Stroop test 2.2.3 Measures used as potential effect modifiers We will collect some data to evaluate their potential as modifiers of the effect seen in the trial: • Muscular impairment rating scale (MIRS) • McGill pain questionnaire • CBT questionnaires (self-efficacy scale for fatigue (SES-28); Fatigue catastrophising scale (FCS); Focusing on symptoms (IMmQ); Illness acceptance scale; Social support (SSL-D). • Trail making • Adult Social Behavior Questionnaire (ASBQ) 2.2.4 Identification of Biomarkers and expansion of CTG repeats Whole blood will be collected in a standardised manner from all 286 DM1 participants enrolled in the trial, with 3x 10ml whole blood samples and up to 20ml urine sample collected per patient. These will be used for biomarker identification and for genetic work linked to CTG repeats. Identification of biomarkers mRNA and microRNA expression changes in serum samples will be collected for each participant in the trial (ie. 286 DM1 patients). In particular, attention will be paid to the expression of candidate microRNAs relevant to the following targets in addition to any others selected from initial next generation RNA sequencing studies in the discovery cohorts: • insulin receptor • muscle chloride channel • SERCA1 • RyR1 and • trop | — |
