    While there is no specific therapy for Guillain-Barre syndrome, physicians have shown that certain treatments, administered early, can temper the progression of symptoms, shorten hospitalization and speed the start of recovery.

    One treatment is plasmapheresis, filtering the blood to remove plasma, which is replaced by an albumin solution or artificial substitute this is believed to remove many of the antibodies that attack nerves. A newer remedy involves the intravenous injection of gamma globulin, which is thought to block the receptors where the antibodies attach to do their damage.

    It takes injured nerves a long time to repair themselves. Most patients recover most of their lost function within a year. In about 3 percent of cases, the syndrome recurs or becomes chronic.

    Even when recovery is uneventful, months of intensive physical therapy are needed.
