It might sound high-tech, but for many people living with neurological conditions, infusion therapy has become one of the most promising instruments in their treatment toolbox.
For people with moderate to severe diseases — such as someone who struggles to walk, speak clearly, or breathe comfortably — infusions may lead to fewer side effects, faster symptom control, and reduced reliance on long-term steroids.
Since the medication bypasses the digestive system, it works faster. Infusions also prevent drugs from degrading in the gastrointestinal tract.
“The advantage is being able to act quickly,” says Dr. Nowak MD, director of the Yale Myasthenia Gravis (MG) Clinic and associate professor of neurology at Yale School of Medicine.
“This approach may be considered more proactive, more personalized, and ultimately more hopeful in treating neurological conditions as quickly as possible.”
