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.

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.

Questions & Answers on "Neurology" (993)

Hi in October 2022 my cpk was 2000 plus and crp was 12. Diagnosed with IIM. My leg muscles were affected that time. Early ild effects in chest ct scan. Started taking prednisone mmf 1500. But in Oct 2023 my voice is also affected can't speak now. Myositis panel of antibodies negative But Achr antibodies positive and ace levels are high. Still cpk is 1800 and hscrp is 17. 86. Diagnosed with myasthenia gravis and taking prednisone mmf and pyridostigmine now. Taken ivig also but still no improvement in voice and weakness. Recently I had severe diarrhea due to high dose of mmf. I want to know will rituximab treatment will be helpful for me. As my doctor is planning for that but now my cd 19 levels also high. Kindly suggest helpful which and what treatment is suitable and advisable.

Female | 54

It seems you're dealing with health issues like myositis and myasthenia gravis, which weaken muscles affecting your legs and voice. Since previous treatments haven’t helped, your doctor suggests rituximab to reduce inflammation and improve symptoms. Monitoring is important due to high CD19 levels. Be sure to discuss any concerns or side effects with your neurologist.

My child is suffering from severe headache everyday I had gone through all the checkups Even ct scan, mri But all reports are normal

Male | 11

If all the tests, like CT scans and MRIs, are normal, there might be different explanations for the headaches. Sometimes, stress, bad sleep, dehydration, and eye strain can be the causes of headaches. Tell your child to drink water, get enough sleep, deal with stress, and take a break from screens regularly. If the headaches continue, it's vital to consult a neurologist for more evaluation and guidance.

Female | 21

Headaches can come from many different things. Sometimes it’s because you’re thirsty or you haven’t had enough to eat. Being stressed out or looking at screens for too long can also give you a headache. Drink some water, have a healthy snack, and take a break from screens. If the headache doesn't go away, seek medical help.

My grandfather age is 69 he had second brain strike and he unable to eat and speak but after 3 month now he able to speak slow slow and today he got anger and eat food by himself without asked anyone after I asked him is any problem to swallow food he said no problem and easy to swallow so please doctor suggest me can we start giving him food by mouth

Male | 69

The symptoms of difficulty eating and speaking are the general ones that occur after a brain stroke. It may be attributed to the muscles used for swallowing being weak. Seeing that he mentioned no problem swallowing and eating by himself, you can slowly start to give him food by mouth. Begin with soft, easy-to-swallow foods and keep track of his progress. Do not forget to communicate with his healthcare team along the way.

I have got a migraine And I am having trouble speaking, my voice is not coming out and I am having a headache

Female | 27

It is known that migraines are conditions that cause severe headaches and may also affect your speaking. The causes of your discomfort might be, among others, stress, dehydration, or lapses in your usual routine. One recommendation that I have is to find a place where you can rest quietly and be in the dark and try using a cold compress on your forehead. If you can see that the pain is relieved by water and taking the pain relief pills, you are on the right way. Still, in case of the worsening or the persistence of your speech problems, the care of the neurlogist should be sought without delay, since they can give you the necessary support for your condition.

I'm 55 years old. I'm facing problem from yesterday with Facial palsy. Can you please prescribed the medicines for this issue? I'm a diabetics patient & also b.p patient?

Male | 60

Facial paralysis, which is a condition characterized by partial or complete facial muscle weakness, may result from other factors as well, for instance, nerve inflammation or virosome infections. Since the doctor is treating your diabetes and high blood pressure, it is very important to be very careful. Although I am not allowed to give you a prescribed medicine, you should consult a neurologist who can check your state and find the best medicine or treatment that will help you to get rid of the illness.

Hello! I was diagnosed with OCD a while ago, and one of the compulsions to certain thoughts was to hold my breath for time. It all started from here. I entered medicine, I am passionate about the field and I was always a 10th grade student. My question is if my brain was affected, if there was any cerebral hypoxia. There were times when I held my breath for quite long periods (until I felt that I had to do it), other times when I was not breathing enough and had that feeling of suffocation (the biggest fear here is, I don't know exactly how much). I had a native brain MRI, 1.5 tesla, nothing negative came out. However, on a micro level, was my cognition, my intelligence, my memory affected? The SpO2 value is 98-99% now, should I go to a doctor? I haven't slept much in my life, I always stay up at night to study and I wonder if my brain is more sensitive to such things, also I was born prematurely. I had read on the Internet that people can get hypoxia and not see it on an MRI, that really panicked me. I'm starting college in a week and I'm constantly thinking about this. If I'm going to forget certain details, I won't remember certain things, I'll always think it's because my brain was damaged, not that it's normal not to remember everything. I managed to overcome these compulsions. But I think that there are no after-effects on the brain. What do you recommend? I am very panicked that I might have hurt myself because of some senseless compulsions. I don't feel myself anymore, after reading or many things on the Internet. Is there anything to do?

Male | 18

Holding your breath for a long time can sometimes make you dizzy or suffocate, nevertheless, it is improbable for you to suffer from a permanent brain injury. Your brain which requires oxygen is doing well because you have been receiving good oxygen levels. If you're feeling worried, try some relaxation techniques like deep breathing or talking to someone you trust.

You may experience numbness and tingling in your extremities(arms and legs), and spots of blue and black colors in your skin due to several reasons such as nerve issues, blood circulation problems, or skin conditions. It is important to visit a neurologist who can diagnose you and suggest the correct treatment. In the meantime, ensure you exercise regularly, eat a balanced diet, and drink lots of water. Be mindful that you should neither abstain from seeking medical advice nor ignore your health situation.

You are likely having some of the panic attack symptoms. In such moments, your body may tremble and be hot; you could also have a feeling of confusion. Panic attacks may be caused by factors such as stress, anxiety, or strong emotions. To help, try slow, deep breaths, calming thoughts, and talking to someone you trust about how you're feeling.

My left hand is numb and sometimes have a tingling feeling, before it was from finger tips to wrists but it extended till elbows. I consulted a doc and he said that there is no sign of nerve injury as there is sweat in my hand. He said that if there is a nerve problem my hand will not sweat. He also said that it maybe because i may have it some bone or nerve unknowingly, and did not prescribe any medication. However the numbness is still there for nearly 2 days and it has extended till my shoulder joint. I have no feeling in my left hand. No pain no sense no feeling.

Male | 17

You’re having a health issue in your left hand, as notice of the deadness is still staying up to your shoulder. This might result from a compressed nerve or issues in your neck or shoulder. It is essential to make a doctor’s condition, request these tests, and do imaging tests such as MRI. Do not put off these symptoms.

Ringing in the ears and deafness after an accident can result from injury to the tiny hairs in the inner ear. This might occur if there is an abrupt loud noise or trauma. It is necessary to consult with an audiologist. They will be able to determine what would be most helpful for your situation in terms of hearing improvement methods. Do not be afraid because there are treatments that can be used for you to be able to hear well again.

Female | 24

Your symptoms of excessive sleepiness, tiredness, weakness, and lightheadedness could indicate anemia. Anemia occurs when your body lacks enough red blood cells to carry oxygen to your organs, making you feel tired and dizzy. This may be due to iron deficiency, blood loss, or a health issue affecting your red blood cells. I suggest visiting a doctor for a blood test to check your iron levels. Including iron-rich foods like spinach, beans, and lean meats in your diet can also help.

It seems you might have a health issue called peripheral neuropathy. This makes nerves send wrong signals to the brain. It makes feet and palms feel burning pains. It also hurts legs calves and muscles. This happens from diabetes, nutrition problems, or infections. To feel better, see a neurologist. They will find out what causes it. They might give meds, physical therapy, or life changes.

Headaches can feel like pressure around your head, often starting on one side and spreading. This type of headache is known as a tension headache and can feel like a band squeezing your head. They may be caused by stress, poor posture, or eye strain. To relieve the pain, try relaxing, sitting up straight, and resting your eyes. If the pain persists, it's wise to see a neurologist.

Male | 60

The presence of increased 14-3-3 protein in cerebrospinal fluid may be an indicator of a significant risk for Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, an uncommon neurodegenerative disorder. Common symptoms include rapid cognitive decline, changes in personality, vision problems, and coordination issues. It is recommended that a neurologist be consulted for a full evaluation, as they can compare your clinical history and symptoms with the test results to better point you in the right direction. In the meantime, a cure does not exist, thus the only thing that will help is supportive care and symptom management. Please, first of all, make an appointment to discuss your case and to find different options for therapy.

Female | 17

If you wake up in the morning with a dull ache running from your temples and shoulders down to your back, accompanied by dizziness and tiredness, you might have tension headaches. These headaches are often caused by stress, poor posture, and eye strain. Meditation and yoga can help, along with checking your posture, taking short breaks from screen time, and getting enough sleep at night. If the symptoms persist, make an appointment to discuss your condition with a neurologist.
