What are the Treatment Options for Mitochondrial DNA Mutations?
Currently, there is no cure for mitochondrial diseases; however, treatment focuses on managing symptoms and improving quality of life:
Pharmacological interventions to manage symptoms such as seizures and muscle weakness. Coenzyme Q10 and other supplements to support mitochondrial function. Physical therapy and exercise to maintain muscle function. Dietary modifications to optimize energy production.
Research continues to explore potential therapies, including gene therapy and mitochondrial replacement techniques.
