Patient's question:
Lately, I don't know why I can't sleep, which greatly affects my work efficiency. My friend recommended checking with the neurology department. How is Duchenne muscular dystrophy treated?Doctor's answer:
Duchenne muscular dystrophy is an X-linked recessive genetic disorder, primarily occurring in male patients, but it can also occur in females. Clinical symptoms usually appear from childhood, manifesting as progressive lower limb muscle weakness and difficulty walking. The condition progressively worsens, and most patients die around the age of 30 due to respiratory failure. Currently, there is no effective treatment for this disease.
