Exercise, Creatine and Coenzyme Q10 for Childhood Myositis

The Effects of Exercise, Creatine, and Coenzyme Q10 Supplementation on Muscle Function in Children With Myositis

Children with JDM are weak and get tired because their muscles aren't able to work like healthy muscles. This can make it hard for them to do normal everyday things and can make them less happy about their lives compared to children without the disease. There are two nutritional supplements that help muscles use energy and recover after exercise: creatine and coenzyme Q10. If the muscle has more energy, it may not be as weak and may not feel as tired or sore after exercise. Because of this we want to see if having children with JDM take creatine and coenzyme Q10 can make them stronger and less tired. If this works, we hope it will let them be able to do the things that healthy children can do, and make them feel better about their lives.
