Current Pharmacologic Management in Selected Neuromuscular Diseases - 07/11/12
Résumé |
For generations, the neuromuscular disorder care community has focused on establishing the correct diagnosis and providing supportive care. As the pathophysiology and genetics of these conditions became better understood, novel treatments targeting the disease mechanism were developed. This has led to some significant disease-modifying and supportive treatments for several neuromuscular disorders. The current treatments for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), neuromuscular junction disorders, inflammatory myopathies, and myotonia are reviewed. Additionally, investigational treatments for ALS, Duchenne muscular dystrophy, and spinal muscular atrophy are discussed.
