What should be done about progressive muscular dystrophy

Patient's question:

Three years old and does not like to walk, myocardial enzyme test is abnormal. Current general condition: No change. Medical history: One year. Previous diagnosis and treatment history and effectiveness: Just discovered, no treatment yet. Auxiliary tests: Blood test, myocardial enzyme test.

Doctor's answer:

According to the situation you described, there is currently no specific treatment for this disease. Supportive therapy is the main approach. Parents should encourage patients to engage in daily activities as much as possible. Avoid prolonged bed rest. Inactivity can often lead to worsening of the condition and disability. Increase nutrition, avoid overexertion, and prevent infections. Younger patients tend to respond better to treatment. Regular white blood cell checks should be performed. Embryonic myoblast injection therapy has only a short-term effect. Direct gene replacement therapy is currently under research. It is recommended that you visit a formal hospital for a detailed examination.
