Article Synopsis
- Spinal muscular atrophy type 1 is a severe illness in young children, often leading to complications like scoliosis and hip deformities, yet treatment with nusinersen improves survival and motor skills.
- A study involving 29 patients treated with nusinersen showed that while the therapy significantly correlated with better motor function scores, it did not significantly impact the development of spinal and hip deformities.
- The findings suggest that even with effective treatment, patients continue to experience progressive skeletal changes, highlighting the need for ongoing monitoring and potential additional interventions.
