Expert consensus on family care for Duchenne muscular dystrophy (non-ambulatory stage)
Journal Title: Journal of Clinical Pediatrics - Year 2025, Vol 43, Issue 1
Abstract
Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a severe X-linked recessive neuromuscular disorder characterized by progressive muscle weakness and eventual fatality. In recent years, more and more gene therapies have emerged, and comprehensive care throughout the disease course remains crucial for maximizing patient’s survival and quality of life. This consensus, developed through literature review, expert consultations, and clinical experience, provides guidance for managing following aspects of care in non-ambulatory DMD patients, including respiratory, cardiac, rehabilitation, skeletal, nutritional, digestive, dermatological, cognitive, and psychological care. This aims to provide a scientific and practical support for families caring for non-ambulatory DMD patients.
