DMD and Duchenne muscular dystrophy: In another study, Albuquerque-Pontes et al. demonstrated that PBMT and a simultaneously applied 35 mT static magnetic field had positive effects, stopping the degradation of skeletal muscles and delaying the progression of Duchenne muscular dystrophy and thus paving the way for new possibilities for the non-pharmacological treatment of this genetic disease by modulating dystrophin gene and protein expression [99].
