Treatment, Help Monitoring

• The major goal of early treatment is to keep the
  ability to walk as long as possible.
• Pawan Muktasana, Stretching exercises and using
  braces at night help avoid the tightening of
  tendons.
• Surgery can be used to release tight tendons.
• Mamsagni Rasayana is promising molecule. It is an
  ayurvedic dietary supplement and is safe and
  superior than Prednisone for long term management
  of muscular dystrophies.

  promising protective effects on NMD.
• These therapies and remedies help in the
  regeneration of dhatus because they are capable
  to balance the Doshas and Agnis.

Observation Results

• It was observed that degeneration of muscle
  fibers were arrested after 6 weeks of
  administration of Mamsagni Rasayana. This was
  presumed on the basis of reduced CK level in
  blood and functional improvement such as
• (i) Weight loss, (ii) Decrease in walking
  difficulty and (iii) Decrease in the severity of
  contractures and scoliosis. However DMD boys have
  shown very slow progress.
