Summary of the Presentation on Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS):

The presentation provides a comprehensive insight into Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS), a rare immune- mediated neuropathy that causes peripheral nerve damage, often triggered by infections or vaccinations. It highlights the disease's etiology, pathophysiology, and clinical variants. The document outlines a ten- step approach to diagnosing and managing GBS, including early recognition, ICU admission criteria, treatment options (IVIG, plasma exchange), and rehabilitation strategies.

Two case studies are presented to demonstrate alternative management approaches: Ayurvedic Approach

Focuses on nourishing therapies like abhyanga, basti, and herbal formulations to restore nerve function. Showcases rapid recovery in a patient with quadriplegia within 1.5 months.

Integrative Medicine (Ayurveda + Yoga):

Combines conventional treatment, yoga, and Ayurveda for chronic GBS symptoms. Demonstrates significant improvements in motor and sensory recovery within 30 days.

The presentation emphasizes a collaborative and holistic approach in treating GBS, including Ayurvedic principles like vatapittaghna chikitsa and modern rehabilitation techniques. It also highlights the potential benefits of integrating traditional and modern therapies, while acknowledging limitations like small sample sizes and lack of statistical validation.
