The limited documentation surrounding myositis ossificans is largely due to its rarity, affecting fewer than 1 in 2 million people worldwide. This extreme rarity restricts the ability to conduct large-scale clinical studies, leading to gaps in understanding its clinical features and genetic basis.
To navigate myositis ossificans, consider consulting a specialist in rare bone disorders or a geneticist with experience in connective tissue diseases. While no specific patient organizations are identified, the Genetic and Rare Diseases Information Center (GARD) offers resources and support for rare conditions. You may also explore opportunities to participate in clinical trials listed at ClinicalTrials.gov, which can provide access to cutting-edge research and potential treatments.
Currently, there are several orphan drugs designated for myositis ossificans, including palovarotene and others in development. There are also 7 active clinical trials, which can provide opportunities for participation in research aimed at better understanding and treating this condition. For more information on these trials, visit ClinicalTrials.gov and search for myositis ossificans.
