Acute demyelination polyradiculoneuropathy disease (AIDP) is a classification of Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS), which affects nerve root and peripheral nerve. Patients might experience diminished neurotransmission, sensory loss, decreased muscle strength, limited range of motion, and paralysis. Up to now, the best treatment strategy is plasmapheresis, plasma exchange, or use intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG). The majority of patients has a good prognosis; however, some sequela might persist for many years. Chinese medicine does not have GBS record or the definition in the past. We only used GBS clinical symptom to contrast to the bi-syndrome and flaccidity-syndrome. We used traditional chinese medicine and acupuncture to treat two acute stage patients and one recovery period patient. We used the treatment protocol of dispelling pathogenic wind from muscles in the critical stage and invigorating spleen for eliminating dampness in the recovery period. All of these three patients satisfied with our combined treatment. Currently, these three patients can take self-care, but they still have numbness, pain, and fatigue problems. Further outpatient department follow up, and treatment are needed for improving patient's health. |
