How Do You Prevent Sma

There is currently no cure for SMA and no way to prevent it, as it is an inherited condition. However, treatment can help a person live a full life.

How long do SMA patients live?

Most children with type 1 SMA will only live a few years. However, people who’ve been treated with new SMA drugs have seen promising improvements in their quality of life — and life expectancy. Children with other types of SMA can survive long into adulthood and live healthy, fulfilling lives.

Is SMA curable?

It’s not currently possible to cure spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), but research is ongoing to find new treatments. Treatment and support is available to manage the symptoms and help people with the condition have the best possible quality of life.
