Emery-Dreifuss Muscular Dystrophy (EDMD)

What is Emery-Dreifuss Muscular Dystrophy? Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy may be a condition that primarily affects muscles used for movement (skeletal muscles) and also the heart (cardiac muscle). Among the earliest features of this disease are joint abnormalities called contractures. Contractures restrain the movement of certain joints, most frequently the elbows, ankles, and neck, and frequently…

Distal Muscular Dystrophy (DD)

What is distal muscular dystrophy? Distal muscular disease (DD) could also be a gaggle of rare diseases that affect your muscles (genetic myopathies). DD causes weakness that starts within the lower arms and legs (the distal muscles). It may progressively spread to the affected area of your body. The muscles shrink (atrophy). DD has several…

Botox for Trigeminal Neuralgia

Introduction of botox for trigeminal neuralgia Botox is the name for Botulinum toxin type A, which is derived from a strain of bacteria called Clostridium Botulinum. Botox injections block certain chemical signals from nerves, most of the signals that cause muscles to contract. The most common use of these injections is to temporarily relax the…

Facioscapulohumeral Muscular Dystrophy (FSH, FSHD)

What is facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy? Facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD) is a genetic muscle disorder that includes muscles of the face, shoulder blades, and upper arms that are the most affected. Muscular dystrophy means progressive degeneration of muscles, with increased weakness of the muscle and loss of muscle bulk (atrophy). In this type of muscular dystrophy,…
