Hello Dear. There is no cure for any form of muscular dystrophy, but medications and therapy can slow the course of the disease. Human trials of gene therapy with the dystrophin gene are on the near horizon. For instance, scientists are researching ways to insert a working dystrophin gene into the muscles of boys with Duchenne and Becker muscular dystrophies. Researchers are investigating the potential of certain muscle-building medicines to slow down or reverse the progression of muscular dystrophy. Other trials are looking into the effects of the dietary supplements creatine and glutamine on muscle energy production and storage. Symptoms often can be relieved through exercise, physical therapy, rehabilitative devices, respiratory care, and surgery: Exercise and physical therapy can minimize abnormal or painful positioning of the joints and may prevent or delay curvature of the spine. Respiratory care, deep breathing, and coughing exercises are often recommended. Canes, powered wheelchairs, and other rehabilitative devices can help those with MD maintain mobility and independence. In Duchenne muscular dystrophy, corticosteriods may slow muscle destruction. The oral corticosteroid deflazacort (Emflaza) was approved in 2017 to treat DMD. Deflazacort has been found to help patients retain muscle strength as well as helping them maintain their ability to walk. Hope i have answered your question.
