How effective is Bach's method in reducing hospitalization of children with SMA?

A long-term study by the physician examines 52 children with SMA who were treated at the Center. The children in the study had an average of 1.53 hospitalizations per year by their third birthday. Between the ages of 3 and 5, the rate dropped to 0.33 hospitalizations a year, and after the fifth birthday, dropped even further to an average of only one hospitalization in more than 20 years.

The results of the study will be published in an upcoming issue of Pediatric Pulmonology.
