An observational study of steroid in the treatment of GuillainBarre syndrome- A Therapeutic Challenge
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2018, Vol 17, Issue 7
Abstract
Steroids have been used for the treatment of Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS) since the 1950s, while their clinical efficacy remains poorly defined. To date, there is still no strong evidence proving or denying the efficacy of high-dose methylprednisolone, and further studies are still merited for issues regarding steroids for GBS. In this study patients of GBS are treated with steroid as IVIG could not be given and the patients showed significant improvement. Thus this study states successful use of steroid in GBS, a therapeutic challenge.
