What Are the Treatment Options for Guillain-Barré Syndrome?

Treatment focuses on reducing the severity of symptoms and speeding recovery. Common treatments include:

  • Plasmapheresis (Plasma Exchange): To remove harmful antibodies from the blood.
  • Intravenous Immunoglobulin (IVIG): To neutralize the immune attack on the nervous system.
  • Physical Therapy: To help regain strength and mobility as recovery progresses. Most people recover, but some may have lingering weakness or symptoms.
