Summary

In this clinical study, the aim is to investigate whether there is a difference in treatment of myotonia using two drugs. A difference there can justify the significantly higher cost when treated by Namuscla versus Lamotrigine.According to the current corona pandemic, the investigators designed an app to use for data collection in the study. The app also ensures that patients who live far from the clinic more easily can participate.
