Multifocal Motor Neuropathy Treatment in India
About Multifocal Motor Neuropathy
Key Highlights
-
Targeted treatment for a specific autoimmune nerve disorder.Intravenous Immunoglobulin (IVIg) therapy is highly effective in most patients.Can halt disease progression and often reverse muscle weakness.Treatment is typically administered on an outpatient basis.Focuses on preserving nerve function and improving quality of life.
Who is this surgery for?
- Progressive, asymmetric muscle weakness, often starting in the hands or arms.
- Muscle cramps and fasciculations (twitching).
- Absence of significant numbness or sensory loss (a key distinguishing feature).
- Nerve conduction studies showing persistent motor conduction block.
- Presence of anti-GM1 ganglioside antibodies in blood tests (supports diagnosis).
- Exclusion of other conditions like Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) or Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy (CIDP).
How to prepare
- Comprehensive neurological examination to assess muscle strength and reflexes.
- Nerve conduction studies and electromyography (EMG) to confirm conduction block.
- Blood tests to check for anti-GM1 antibodies and rule out other conditions.
- Discussion with the neurologist about the diagnosis, treatment plan (IVIg), and expected outcomes.
- For IVIg infusion: hydration is recommended; inform the doctor of any history of blood clots, kidney problems, or IgA deficiency.
- Arranging for transportation after the infusion, as you may feel fatigued.
Risks & possible complications
- IVIg Infusion Reactions: Headache, fever, chills, nausea, or low blood pressure during or after infusion.
- Rare severe allergic reactions, especially in patients with IgA deficiency.
- Increased risk of blood clots (thromboembolic events).
- Aseptic meningitis (inflammation of brain lining) causing severe headache.
- Kidney dysfunction, particularly in patients with pre-existing kidney disease.
- Treatment may not be effective for all patients, and some may require alternative or additional therapies.
Recovery & hospital stay
- Improvement in muscle strength can begin within days to weeks after starting IVIg, but maximum benefit may take several cycles.
- Regular follow-up with the neurologist to monitor strength, adjust infusion doses, and assess for side effects.
- Maintenance IVIg infusions are typically required every 2-6 weeks to sustain improvement.
- Physical and occupational therapy are often recommended to maximize strength and function.
- Managing side effects like post-infusion headaches with medications as prescribed.
- Long-term monitoring is essential, as the disease is chronic but manageable with ongoing therapy.
-
Typical hospital stay:
0 days (outpatient) or 1 day for observation if needed
-
Expected recovery time:
Initial improvement in 1-4 weeks; ongoing maintenance therapy

Had my gallbladder out last week....
Had my gallbladder out last week. The surgery itself was fine, but the first two days after were rough. Dr. Madhumitha was really on top of my pain meds, adjusting them a few times until it was manageable. She checked on me every morning and evening at MGM, which helped a lot. I'm home now and the recovery is going okay, just taking it slow.
