Abstract

Although research into molecular treatments for DMD is at an exciting stage, the use of corticosteroids and good quality care currently remain a high priority in prolonging survival and increasing quality of life. The benefits of steroids in DMD were first suggested in 1974. However, lack of long-term study and concerns about side effects have led to inconsistency of use, regime and dosage in clinical practise. Patients and families ask for more information to guide practice within different centres and countries.
