Abstract
Benefits of intravascular laser Irradiation of Blood on Motor and Sensory Recovery Viewing from Brain Function Images: Portrait of a Case with Chronic Sjögren’s Syndrome, Transverse Myelitis, and Guillain-Barré Syndrome
Highlights
Transverse myelitis (TM) is an autoimmune disease and often causes paralysis of the lower limbs, which motor impairment is characterized by flaccid paraplegia in the initial phase, and later a spastic paraparesis with tendinous hyperreflexia [1]
It usually presents as a paralysis that starts in the lower limbs and progresses symmetrically upward
We report a case with TM combined with Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS), who was treated with intravascular laser irradiation of blood (ILIB) and obtained better motor and sensory recovery
Summary
Transverse myelitis is an autoimmune disease and often causes paralysis of the lower limbs. Combination of both diseases will worsen the consequences, and results in various disabilities. Conventional treatments cannot achieve the fast recovery of the motor and sensory dysfunction, and the intravascular laser irradiation of blood comes with the tide of fashion, which has been reported with efficacy in facilitating the circulation and increased wound healing rate. We report a case with Sjögren’s syndrome combined with two other diseases, who obtained better motor and sensory recovery after 2-courses of laser therapy.
