What is a Neuromuscular disorder?

Inherited, Hormonal, Metabolic, Autoimmune disorders, Dietary problems and Viral infection.

Who is involved in the treatment and management of Neuromuscular disorders?

It involves Neurologists, Adult Pediatrics, Electrophysiologist, including diagnosis of genetics.

What is the therapy is best suited for the majority of the neuromuscular disorder?

It is based on the diagnosis procedures, if you have an autoimmune neuromuscular disease when the body is producing antibodies against the nerve, junction nerve and the muscle and the muscle itself. So, if you are having an autoimmune type of neuromuscular disease, then Steroids like immunosuppressants are prescribed. Other immunosuppressants include azathioprine and cyclosporine.

For acute treatment, treatments such as plasmapheresis, which is a dialysis procedure to clean the blood and remove harmful antibodies.

Are Injections commonly suggested treatments?

Yes, the use of the intravenous form of steroids to suppress the autoimmune type of disorder. As steroids are the quickest form to bring relief as they are anti-inflammatory. If the muscle is inflamed, steroids help to reduce it.

Other forms of injections are intravenous immunoglobulins which are less toxic than steroids and little slower to act. Immunosuppressants such as cyclophosphamide which is given as pulse therapy.
