1. Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD)
DMD is a severe form of muscular dystrophy characterized by progressive muscle weakness and degeneration. It primarily affects boys and is caused by mutations in the dystrophin gene. Early diagnosis and intervention are crucial for optimizing outcomes and improving the quality of life for individuals with DMD.
2. Becker Muscular Dystrophy (BMD)
BMD is a milder form of muscular dystrophy also caused by mutations in the dystrophin gene. While similar to DMD, individuals with BMD typically have a later onset of symptoms and a slower disease progression. Dr. Gautam Arora provides personalized care and management strategies tailored to the specific needs of individuals with BMD.
3. Facioscapulohumeral Muscular Dystrophy (FSHD)
FSHD is characterized by weakness and wasting of muscles in the face, shoulders, and upper arms. It is one of the most common forms of muscular dystrophy in adults and can vary widely in severity and progression. Dr. Arora utilizes advanced diagnostic techniques and multidisciplinary approaches to manage FSHD effectively.
4. Myotonic Dystrophy (DM)
Myotonic dystrophy is a multisystem disorder characterized by muscle weakness and myotonia (prolonged muscle contraction). It is caused by abnormal expansion of nucleotide repeats in specific genes. Dr. Gautam Arora offers comprehensive care and support to individuals with DM, addressing both the muscular and systemic manifestations of the disease.
5. Limb-Girdle Muscular Dystrophy (LGMD)
LGMD encompasses a group of inherited disorders characterized by weakness and wasting of muscles in the hips and shoulders. Dr. Arora specializes in the diagnosis and management of LGMD, providing personalized treatment plans to address the unique needs of each patient.
6. Congenital Myopathies
Congenital myopathies are genetic disorders that present with muscle weakness and dysfunction from birth or early childhood. These conditions can affect various aspects of muscle function and may require specialized care from experts like Dr. Gautam Arora at NPMC.
7. Inflammatory Myopathies
Inflammatory myopathies are autoimmune disorders characterized by inflammation and damage to muscle tissue. Dr. Arora employs advanced diagnostic techniques and immunomodulatory therapies to manage inflammatory myopathies effectively.
8. Metabolic Myopathies
Metabolic myopathies are genetic disorders that affect the body's ability to produce or utilize energy in muscle tissue. Dr. Gautam Arora offers comprehensive care and support to individuals with metabolic myopathies, addressing metabolic abnormalities and optimizing energy production in muscle cells.
In conclusion, the Neurology and Pain Management Clinic (NPMC) led by Dr. Gautam Arora provides specialized care and support to individuals with various types of myopathies. Through advanced diagnostic techniques, personalized treatment plans, and multidisciplinary approaches, Dr. Arora strives to optimize outcomes and improve the quality of life for patients with myopathies.
