Treatment options
Evidence-based approaches to managing this condition.
First-line treatments
Drug therapy and clinical monitoring
Active treatment with regular monitoring by a healthcare provider is recommended.
Immunotherapy - First Line Corticosteroids
High-dose corticosteroids are initiated as primary immunotherapy to suppress the autoimmune attack on glycine receptors in the brainstem and spinal cord.
IVIG or Plasma Exchange
Both IVIG and plasma exchange are effective immunomodulatory options that can provide more rapid antibody removal compared to steroids alone.
Additional treatment options
Symptomatic Muscle Relaxant Therapy
Benzodiazepines such as clonazepam or baclofen may help manage muscle rigidity, spasms, and myoclonus associated with glyr antibody syndromes.
medicationPhysical and Occupational Therapy
Structured rehabilitation programs address motor dysfunction, improve functional mobility, and help manage stiffness in affected patients.
