Muscular dystrophy - Treatment

Currently there is no cure for muscular dystrophy, but the turmoilcaused care, improve patient quality of life and life expectancy.

Existing treatments aim to prevent or reduce deformation of jointsor the spine and allow them to keep their patients with DM as muchas mobility.
Treatments for muscular dystrophy include physical therapy,physiotherapy, medication and surgery.

Physiotherapy

As the evolution of DM and muscle weakening, contractures canoccur (involuntary contractions). Flexibility and joint mobility may bediminished.

The aim of physiotherapy is to maintain joint flexibility, preventcontractures, spinal deformity reduction and delay.

Medication

Myotonic dystrophy - may be prescribed mexiletine, phenytoin,carbamazepine and procainamide to treat myotonic (abnormallyprolonged muscle contractions difficulties in decontractare).
Duchenne muscular dystrophy - anti-inflammatory steroids(prednisone) are sometimes prescribed to delay disease progression.

In case of damage to the respiratory muscles, is taking steps toprevent respiratory disorders. Considering that lung infections are common in advanced stages of DM, vaccines against pneumoniaand influenza are important.

To normalize the heart rate can be used in a pacemaker (a pacemaker).

Other options are gene therapy (replacing defective genes withnormal genes) and transfer mioblasti (healthy muscle cell transplantation in a patient with DM).

To prevent disease in couples where the woman has a family history of muscular dystrophy may use a genetic counseling todetermine the risk of occurrence of disease in children.
