Overview

There is no treatment for [disease name]; the mainstay of therapy is supportive care.

OR

Supportive therapy for [disease name] includes [therapy 1], [therapy 2], and [therapy 3].

OR

The majority of cases of [disease name] are self-limited and require only supportive care.

OR

[Disease name] is a medical emergency and requires prompt treatment.

OR

The mainstay of treatment for [disease name] is [therapy].

OR   The optimal therapy for [malignancy name] depends on the stage at diagnosis.

OR

[Therapy] is recommended among all patients who develop [disease name].

OR

Pharmacologic medical therapy is recommended among patients with [disease subclass 1], [disease subclass 2], and [disease subclass 3].

OR

Pharmacologic medical therapies for [disease name] include (either) [therapy 1], [therapy 2], and/or [therapy 3].

OR

Empiric therapy for [disease name] depends on [disease factor 1] and [disease factor 2].

OR

Patients with [disease subclass 1] are treated with [therapy 1], whereas patients with [disease subclass 2] are treated with [therapy 2].

Medical Therapy

Unilateral diaphragmatic paralysis

  • No treatment are required in unilateral diaphragmatic paralysis because most patients are asymptomatic.[1]
  • Transient ventilatory support with noninvasive positive pressure ventilation (NPPV) or invasive mechanical ventilation: it is used when patients with unilateral diaphragmatic paralysis develop acute respiratory dysfunction after general aneshesia or infections.

Bilateral diaphragmatic paralysis

  • Treatment options depends upon the severity of paralysis of the diaphragm and etiology. [2][3]
  • Ventilatory support (invasive or noninvasive)
  • Diaphragmatic pacing:
    • It is done via stimilation of the diaphragm by implanted electrodes at the level of the neck or thorax. [4]
    • It can not be done in patients with denervated diaphragams
    • Best candidates for diaphragmatic pacing are patients with high level cervical cord injury.[5]
  • Antiviral therapy:
  • Pharmacologic medical therapy is recommended among patients with [disease subclass 1], [disease subclass 2], and [disease subclass 3].
  • Pharmacologic medical therapies for [disease name] include (either) [therapy 1], [therapy 2], and/or [therapy 3].
  • Empiric therapy for [disease name] depends on [disease factor 1] and [disease factor 2].
  • Patients with [disease subclass 1] are treated with [therapy 1], whereas patients with [disease subclass 2] are treated with [therapy 2].
