text: There has been extensive research to discover treatment for DMD. The most common drug treated against DMD is known to be Deflazacort yielding the greatest benefits with the most acceptable side effects. Physical therapy consists of varying exercises that aim to increase muscle strength and durability so to facilitate normal physical activity and is recommended to begin as early as possible after diagnosis. Contracture intervention is recommended for patients in the middle ambulatory stage. However, surgical approach to DMD is declining as less invasive treatment becomes available. While treatment for DMD has been observed to improve muscle function and quality of life, a cure to the debilitating disease remains to be found.
