Treatment & Control
Diagnosis is a crucial step in controlling & managing MD, as it helps your doctor defining MD type & choosing the best way to manage and control it. Currently there is no cure for Muscular Dystrophy, but applying the right medication & therapy can slow down the progression of the disease & ease the symptoms. Researchers are exerting great efforts trying to reach new therapies that can stop or reverse the progression of Muscular Dystrophy.
Symptoms can usually be relieved through medication, exercise, physical therapy & sometimes surgery. Canes, powered wheelchairs, and other rehabilitative devices can help those with MD maintain mobility and independence. In Duchenne muscular dystrophy, corticosteriods like Deflazacort may slow muscle destruction with minimal side effects for prolonged use.
