where is the treatment of muscular dystrophy?

Answer 1

Muscular dystrophies are inherited, progressive muscle disorders resulting from defects in one or more genes needed for normal muscle function. They are distinguished by the selective distribution of weakness and the specific nature of the genetic abnormality involved.
There are no known cures for the various muscular dystrophies. The goal of treatment is to control symptoms.
Physical therapy may help patients maintain muscle strength and function. Orthopedic appliances such as braces and wheelchairs can improve mobility and self-care abilities. In some cases, surgery on the spine or legs may help improve function.
Corticosteroids taken by mouth are sometimes prescribed to children to keep them walking for as along as possible.
The person should be as active as possible. Complete inactivity (such as bedrest) can make the disease worse.

Answer 2

to know the answer, first of all we should know what is muscular dystrophy. it includes a group of genetic diseases with progressive muscular weakness and degeneration. it can affect specific groups of muscles.i,m very sorry to say, that at present there is no specific treatment for these dystrophies.treatment is supportive like wheel chairs and if the respiratory failure occurs due to weakness of respiratory muscles, then artificial ventilation with ventilators can be used just to prolong life in a vegetative state. then we should know why there is no specific treatment? because it is a genetic disease and the mistake is in genetic code representing a specific protein which codes for an abnormal protein like dystrophin in muscles. it may be absent or low in levels. though at present there is no curative treatment, in future scientists may find methods of curing the disease by gene therapy which might be able to repair the specific abnormal genetic code by correcting the genetic abnormality. why genetic disorders are difficult to treat? because in human being like us millions and millions of cells are there and each cell has got 46 chromosomes and in turn chromosomes contain genes and genetic codes. if at all a treatment procedure corrects a specific genetic abnormality then it has to correct it in all or part of the body which may come around millions and millions of cells and still it should not injure or harm the normal cells and normal genes and normal genetic code which are vital for the living being. it has taken so long for the human community to identify a specifc disorder like muscular dystrophy and to identify what is abnormal in it and what are the symptoms. it is not so simple. millions of scientists worked either directly or indirectly. advanced molecular biology and technology paved the way to identify the molecular abnormality in these group of disorders and we are marching towards genetic therapy which would find the answer. and the world is not idle as many people think, like those affected by these either directly or indirectly(relatives suffering from these disorders). many scientists without caring for food, money, sleep are working towards finding solution to problems like muscular dystrophies, i hope positively that we would one day find complete cure for the disease, and i would like to say that not only muscular dystrophies are awaiting curative treatment several other diseases are awaiting the curative treatment. if we are working towards creativity like finding treatments for these diseases instead of working for building weapons and encouraging corruption we can find solution. instead of thinking money is the only thing in the world if all the millionaires come forward for funding for finding solutions to these diseases then we can have healthier lives. already we have succeeded in eradicating smallpox which was a fatal disease throughout the world thanks to scientists, doctors and all the governments and people who directly or indirectly helped eradicating it. thanks

the factor is to actual shrink spammers. through fact human beings can create unsolicited mail money owed, and if there substitute into no email shrink, they could email each guy or woman who asked or replied with unsolicited mail; that they had be suggested; their account may be closed, yet by that factor that they had be directly to the subsequent account and spamming. in case you have been with the positioning for a whilst, and in case you have shown which you have an interest in asking and answering, then Yahoo trusts you to not unsolicited mail with the aid of email

Answer 4

where are you located? Better consult a good ayurvedic doctor who will treat you. It may take longer time to cure but, ayurveda does work. Meanwhile start taking Noni herbal fruit juice which is very effective for nerves and muscle.

Answer 5

There is no treatment.
There are drugs that my friend use to "calm" down his muscles.
Ask your physician if you are afflicted with one. He can prescribe you the necessary drugs.
Good luck!
