Laser Treatment for Maple Syrup Urine Disease

Maple syrup urine disease (MSUD) is an uncommon but dangerous hereditary disorder. It implies that the body is unable to metabolize specific amino acids (the “building blocks” of protein), resulting in a hazardous buildup of chemicals in the blood and urine.

It is inherited, which means it is passed down through families. It is caused by a defect in 1 of 3 genes.

The condition is named from the unusual sweet odor of the urine of afflicted newborns. Poor eating, vomiting, a lack of energy (lethargy), irregular movements, and delayed growth are additional symptoms. MSUD, if left untreated, can result in seizures, coma, and death.

Movement disorders in MSUD have typically been described mainly as tremor and dystonia or a combination of both. Parkinsonism and simple motor tics were also observed.

In conclusion, movement abnormalities are typical in adult patients with maple syrup urine illness who are being treated. As a result, rigorous neuromuscular assessment is recommended for these individuals, particularly those who get laser treatment sessions.

Undoubtedly, not all laser machines can be suitable for such delicate cases. Few devices are to be trusted and the Physiotherapy Diode Laser System. SIPhysiotherapy 980nm Diode Laser System LASER-1.41 is among these few.

Laser Therapy with LASER-1.41 has been successfully used to treat a broad range of medical conditions, including neuromuscular problems.

When the device’s light source is put against the skin, photons penetrate several centimetres and are absorbed by the mitochondria, the cell’s energy-producing organelle. This energy drives a slew of beneficial physiological reactions that result in the restoration of normal cell architecture and function.

The central goal of this device is to stimulate the cell to perform its natural functions but at an enhanced rate. Targeted in haemoglobin and cytochrome c oxidase, the high-power diode laser could help the respiration and then a result has a good performance therapy.

In sharp contrast to “Cold lasers” which provide no feeling or sensation, high power diode laser therapy will provide a warm and soothing feeling that will surely help Maple Syrup Urine Disease patients to gradually regain their physical functions.

MSUD is truly a rare but life-threatening disease. Nevertheless, this should never deny the fact that partial recovery hope should never disappear, especially since there exist treatments for some of this disease’s side effects.  With all the above-mentioned functionalities, the laser system: LASER-1.41 might be the ultimate solution for the neuromuscular problems Maple Syrup Urine disease causes.
