The management of Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) has seen dramatic change over the past two decades. Improvements in clinical monitoring of disease progression, management of cardiac and pulmonary complications, and nutritional intervention have all led to decreases in co-morbidity commonly associated with DMD, and, as a consequence, quality of life and life expectancy of individuals with DMD have both continued to improve. This review will update the reader on current trends and recent advances in the diagnosis, management, and treatment of DMD, with a focus on reviewing pertinent current literature.
