Patients with SMA type II or III who received nusinersen treatment showed significant improvement in motor function. A longer treatment duration led to a higher number of patients with improved motor function. No significant side effects of nusinersen were observed. Patients with SMA, even those with severe scoliosis or on respiratory support, can be safely treated using nusinersen.
