SMA is inherited, which means it's passed down through families. It affects 1 out of every 7,744 childbirth in India.

The average Spinal muscular atrophy treatment cost in India is $7,890. This cost also varies depending on a child's age and treatment options.

For example, highly expensive drugs are often needed for treatment, which can significantly increase the treatment cost.

The cost of the SMA treatment is very expensive in the world! However, the SMA disease treatment cost in India is considered meager.

Types of Spinal Muscular Atrophy Treatments and their Costs in India

Spinal Muscular Atrophy is a rare disease caused due to genetic mutations. Gene therapy is expensive but also the most recommended treatment to counter SMA.

We have summarized the costs of gene therapy in India to treat SMA:

Spinraza

People with SMA lack protein in their genes to function with motor neurons properly.

Spinraza enhances the body's ability to produce the required protein.

The cost of Spinraza in India is around $1,08,000 per injection.

Zolgensma

People with SMA have a mutated SMN 1 gene. This gene is responsible for muscle weakness due to the improper development of motor neurons.

Zolgensma is a drug providing a healthy copy of the SMN 1 gene to the patient. It is a one-time treatment.

The Zolgensma injection cost in India is around $2 million.

Evrysdi

Evrysdi is a medicine that enhances the growth of the SMN protein in the blood.

The protein will flow inside the brain and the spinal cord via blood.

The cost of Evrysdi in India is around $7,500 per bottle.

The type of treatment may particularly determine the cost of the treatment. Yet, several other factors may influence SMA disease treatment costs in India and elsewhere.

We have discussed them further, so make sure you don’t miss out!

Factors Affecting the Cost of Spinal Muscular Atrophy

The factors that affect the price of SMA treatment are:

Age of the child	SMA treatment costs increase with age. Older children require more intense therapies, which increases treatment costs.
Child's weight	The cost of SMA treatment increases with the child's weight. It is because heavier children require more intensive therapies.
The extent of the child's weakness	SMA treatment costs increase if the child's deficiency is severe enough to warrant intensive support.
Medication	Different types of drugs are available to treat SMA. As discussed earlier, the cost of these drugs varies significantly.

It`s a very serious condition when the legs become immovable because of the c3 and c6 spine issues. One may have symptoms like numbness or weakness.

Male | 45

Damage reaches the brain due to being hit in the head, suffering a stroke, or infections inside the skull. Patients' problems can be related to memory loss, speech problems, and muscle issues. It's essential to seek immediate medical attention from a neurologist, especially if this is the third occurrence of brain damage.

Sleep problem for few day and still increase the problem

Male | 18

It's normal to have trouble sleeping for a couple of nights, but if it worsens, it could be due to stress, too much caffeine, or a change in routine. Common signs of sleepiness include daytime fatigue, trouble concentrating, and mood changes. To improve sleep, try setting a calming bedtime routine, reducing caffeine intake, and exercising regularly. If the problem persists, consider consulting a neurologist.

Why's there a sudden moving sensation in the body? There has been a feeling of something growing inside the left side of the head, like a tingling/burning sensation (I hope I explained myself properly). On the nerves or inside the brain I don't understand. Sometimes there's a pain on the back side of the head too (mostly on the right side). What do these symptoms indicate?

Female | 37

These signs may indicate a neurological disorder and require consultation with a neurologist. Seeking the help of a specialist is necessary for proper diagnosis and treatment.

I’m 21 year old female the last 5 days my body’s felt like it’s floating and I’m having brain fog and blurry vision

Female | 21

Many things could cause you to feel like you’re floating, have brain fog, or experience blurry vision. For example, this might happen if you’re dehydrated, haven’t slept enough, or are stressed out. So my advice would be to try drinking more water, getting some rest, and taking a little time off to relax. If none of these help and the symptoms persist then I think you should see your neurologist about it.

It sounds like you're experiencing involuntary movements in your hand during the night. This could be related to a neurological issue, and it’s important to consult a neurologist who can help diagnose the cause and suggest proper treatment. Don’t worry, with the right medical guidance, you can improve and feel better.

Hello guys, I am a male 24 years old. So in early 201 9 i started to get weird symptoms than at the end develop constant feeling of them.lt all started with just sinus pressure and dizzines,but it develop in to constant unsteadiness like i am walking on a boat 24/7.It does never stop not even for a single second. It does not matter if i am laying,sitting or walking the sensation is there always.This sensation is accompanied with sort of like bouncy vision which is constant same as the unsteadiness.lts hard for me to focus on objects because i have a sensation that they are moving or bouncing.This dual sensation varies in intensity depending on the day. Those both sensation are going on for 5 years.l have developed anxiety with it and often find myself panicking over this symptoms I did an MRI scan that showed no malignat changes on the brain and a C6-C7 discus hernia and relative spinal stenosis. I also went to few ENT doctors,that recommended me to do a deviated septum surgery which i got. They said it could be to air pressure in my ears and oxygen deficiency which ultimately did not prove to be right. I went to a few neurologist that all said the same,that there is nothing wrong according to them I also went to an eye doctor who said i do not have anything wrong with my eyes despite my bouncy vision.Even when i explained my symptoms she said that she had never heard of something like this On the recommendation of my ENT doctor i did caloric test that show the next parametars: Right ear showed 2.20 and left ear showed 2.50 (keep in mind i do not know what this means) I also have checked my blood vessels on my neck to check for circulation and it came out fine I am literally out of options and i do not know what to do next. Anyone out there with simillar kind of symptoms? Can anybody give me some advice for what to do next?

Male | 24

You might be dealing with a condition known as vestibular migraine or chronic subjective dizziness. Given your symptoms and history, it would be best to consult a neurologist who specializes in vestibular disorders. They can provide more targeted treatments and help manage your symptoms effectively. Please visit a neurologist for further evaluation and proper guidance.

I couldn't sleep for 2 months as whever i sleep even for 10 mins i get a dream everytime. I am sleeping for minimum 3 hours a day and i am always tired even without work.

Female | 33

You can't get to sleep and walk around like a zombie during the day. If you have dreams every time you sleep, however, they may be short, and you are not getting REM sleep which is the deep sleep you need. As a result, you may feel you have more energy than you do. Thus, this might be a sleep disorder. If the problem persists, see a sleep specialist who can help with the evaluation and therapy.

Male | Abbas Alam

You are feeling pain in your hand and back that is accompanied by a tingling sensation in your whole body. The above-stated symptoms might be a result of the neck problem known as a cervical issue. The pain and tingling sensation in your hand and back can be because the nerves in your neck are affected. You must go to a neurologist to get the right diagnosis and treatment. In the meantime, you should make sure to avoid things that cause your symptoms to worsen and also practice good posture.

Male | 15

Lacosamide tablets BP and lacosamide tablets Ph. Eur. are essentially the same, with the only difference being how they are approved for use in different countries. The symptoms, causes, and treatment are identical for both. The therapy works by normalizing abnormal electrical activity in the brain. Stick to the medication prescribed by your neurologist and follow their advice carefully.

Female | 19

Your headaches and dizziness could be related to prolonged exposure to heat or sudden changes in temperature from the AC. It’s important to stay hydrated and take breaks from the heat. However, since these symptoms have persisted for two weeks, I strongly advise you to visit a general physician or an ENT specialist for a proper diagnosis and treatment.

I have epilepsy from 10 years

Male | 23

Long-time living with epilepsy can be extremely complicated, but let's together solve this problem. Epilepsy is an explosion of electrical signals in the brain that results in seizures. These seizures can have different consequences, for example, you can be shaking or losing control of your body. Medicines are mainly used to manage epilepsy, and it is important to take these medicines the way your neurologist tells you to. Moreover, living a balanced healthy life can also be supportive in the treatment of epilepsy.

This can lead to a condition known as salt poisoning. Signs may include extreme thirst, vomiting, weakness, and confusion. When your friend does not answer calls, it is a severe symptom. The brain and body could be affected. Please seek immediate medical attention. This is an emergency that may be fatal.

If the shunt isn't working right, symptoms can come back. In such cases, replacing or adjusting the shunt may be necessary to ensure it properly drains the fluid. It's important to address this quickly to avoid complications. Talk to the specialist who has been treating your husband, may be able to provide further guidance on the next steps. It is important to follow the doctor's advice and closely monitor your husband's condition.
