Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS) is a rare but serious autoimmune disorder in which the body’s immune system mistakenly attacks the peripheral nerves. This condition often develops after an infection and leads to rapid-onset muscle weakness, numbness, and, in severe cases, paralysis. Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial for recovery.
Our center offers a comprehensive Guillain-Barré Syndrome management program designed to ensure accurate diagnosis, effective treatment, and ongoing rehabilitation for optimal recovery.
Our Approach
GBS management requires urgent and coordinated care. Our approach focuses on:
Prompt and accurate diagnosis through detailed neurological evaluation and nerve conduction studies
Immediate treatment to limit nerve damage
Comprehensive rehabilitation to restore function and independence
Continuous monitoring to prevent complications
Symptoms We Manage
Our program addresses the wide-ranging symptoms of GBS, including:
Rapidly progressing muscle weakness, starting in the legs and ascending upward
Numbness and tingling sensations
Loss of reflexes
Difficulty walking or coordinating movements
Breathing difficulties in severe cases
Autonomic dysfunction such as blood pressure fluctuations
Treatment Options
Acute Management
Intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) therapy
Plasma exchange (plasmapheresis) to remove harmful antibodies
Intensive monitoring for respiratory function and autonomic instability
Rehabilitation Therapy
Physiotherapy to improve muscle strength, flexibility, and coordination
Occupational therapy to restore functional independence
Respiratory therapy for breathing support when required
Supportive Care
Pain management
Nutritional support
Psychological counseling for patients and families
Education on recovery and relapse prevention
