Duchenne muscular dystrophy is a severe inherited disorder marked by progressive muscle weakness due to dystrophin deficiency. For a year, a three-and-a-half-year-old kid struggled to climb stairs and squat. Four sessions of Ayurvedic Panchakarma therapy were interspersed with oral Ayurvedic drugs. The therapy's objective was to increase muscle strength and function. After therapy, there was a discernible clinical improvement and a considerable drop in the child's blood creatine phosphokinase levels. This case shows how Ayurvedic treatments may improve the quality of life and assist in controlling Duchenne muscular dystrophy when used in conjunction with conventional therapy.
