Patient's question:
How is muscular dystrophy treated? I heard that Jianluo Chuwei Decoction has a good effect in treating muscular dystrophy?Doctor's answer:
Duchenne muscular dystrophy is a series of progressive, hereditary muscular diseases caused by multiple genetic defects again occurring in genes required for normal muscle function. Some genes associated with these diseases have been identified. The main symptom of this disease is muscle weakness. Since it is a genetic disease, traditional Chinese medicine is not effective. Of course, Western medicine also does not have a proven effective method, and it is necessary to conduct thorough genetic and chromosomal tests to verify which type of muscular dystrophy it is before formulating treatment measures.
