They found that the drug was well tolerated and appeared to increase the levels of dystrophin protein in a statistically significant dose-dependent manner.

The best 3 responders showed an increase following treatment of protein levels from 2 percent to 18 percent, from 0.9 percent to17 percent and from 0 percent to 7.7 percent of normal muscle, respectively.

The study was published July 25, 2011 in the journal Lancet.

my son is involved DMD and his age is 11years ,now his movement is limited .he feel very very diffcult to walk even fell down.i m worry his future. please give me guidance of treatment.

There is no treatment available at present throughout the world. Just give physiotherapy at your home by a trained therapist who knows about DMD. Try to maintain his walking. Once walking is stopped, you cannot bring it back. Don't be cheated by any advertisement who claim that they can cure DMD. visit www.mdfindia.org

is there any chances of improvement in conditions of patients suffering from DMD??????????


03/23/2012

Dear Sushma, Chances are very less regarding the improvement. Unless some changes occur internally like gene therapy or stemcell therapy from a reliable source, you cannot expect any improvement. Pray to God that the condition should not become worse than it is today. My prayers too are there for all DMD children.
