They can advise you on whether there are any clinical trials in progress or being planned that your son could take part in. You might find the following websites helpful, and they may be able to tell you about clinical trials that are being planned. http://www.muscular-dystrophy.org/ http://www.mdausa.org/ I hope that your efforts on behalf of your son are successful.

He has been wheelchair-bound since. He was 8 years old when he was diagnosed with DMD. He is now 12 years old and the rapid muscle wasting has worsened in the last 3mths. His eyesight has also gone bad in the last 6 months. I wish and pray that the medical profession would come up with some form of stem cell treatment soon for DMD like they did with the 19-year old with Multiple Scloresis earlier today. The Announcement has given all DMD sufferers hope. May our good Lord above continue to guide the medical profession in expediting the process of stem cell treatments for all DMD sufferers including my precious son. Please help make my son live.
