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.
