Intravenous Immunoglobulin (IVIG)
Intravenous Immunoglobulin (IVIG) is a treatment made from donated blood plasma containing antibodies. It is used to modulate the immune system in autoimmune diseases like polymyositis. Administered via IV infusion, IVIG helps reduce muscle inflammation and improve strength, especially in severe or treatment-resistant cases. It’s generally safe but may cause temporary side effects.
Occupational Therapy
Occupational therapy helps individuals with polymyositis maintain independence in daily activities. Therapists provide adaptive strategies, tools, and exercises to improve fine motor skills, energy conservation, and joint protection. This therapy supports patients in managing tasks like dressing, eating, and writing, enhancing quality of life and promoting self-sufficiency despite muscle weakness or fatigue.
Corticosteroids
Corticosteroids, such as prednisone, are commonly used to reduce muscle inflammation in polymyositis. They work by suppressing the immune system, leading to improved muscle strength and reduced symptoms. Treatment usually begins with high doses, then gradually tapers. Long-term use requires monitoring due to potential side effects like weight gain, osteoporosis, and increased infection risk.
