Abstract

  Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) is a slow, progressive and fatal X-linked neuromuscular disorder due to loss of dystrophin that links the contractile apparatus to the sarcolemma via the dystrophin-associated protein complex (DPC).

  The NOD (Nitric Oxide Donor) causes release of Nitric Oxide (NO) by nitric oxide synthase (NOS) and then via 10,000-fold effect NOR (Nitric Oxide Receptor) it acts to release cGMP thus modulates DPC and improves the skeleton muscle functionality.

  We have used intrathecal sodium nitroprusside to activate the 10000-fold effect to modulate the retrograde neuroregulation in DMD (diagnosed by muscle biopsy) and oral Tadalafil as NODs and well checked by AL-TENS (acupuncture like transepidermal neural stimulation) in pre ITSNP and post ITSNP phase.
