Transverse Myelitis

[dana522]

can hypothermal therapy help reduce inflammation in the spinal cord for patients with sudden onset of Transverse Myelitis?

Hi there. Several therapies for acute transverse myelitis are intravenous steroids, plasma exchange therapy, pain medications like acetaminophen, naproxen, antidepressants like sertaline etc. Other non drug therapies include physical and occupational therapy, psychotherapy etc. the prognosis may include partial recovery over time and depends on the cause of transverse myelitis ranging from mild to severe disability. I am not very sure about the beneficial effects of hypothermal therapy. Take care.

Welcome to the site and to the community. You have come to a place where people are very supportive and have a lot of information.
I would like to point out that as the information on your left says, this is only my personal advice and you should always consult a doctor with problems first. Also, while it is
understandable to want information or advice about medication/s you should never alter or stop without speaking to the prescribing doctor first.
The advice I give is from personal knowledge and or experience, this does not mean I am a health professional or that my advice should be
taken over a health professionals. If I am not able to help, rest assured there will probably be more people to help. This post is mainly for basic
information and to let you know that while I do not have any advice for you, it is worth it to stick around.
