“…In this patient, the medical management for COVID-19 was started from the day of diagnosis along with intravenous immunoglobulin for GBS, and physiotherapy was started after the repeat COVID-19 test was negative [ 11 ]. Physiotherapy can be started with proper monitoring to prevent respiratory and other complications.…”

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has spread around the globe. The most common symptoms associated with this are usually respiratory, but different central nervous system manifestations have been reported. There are many cases of Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS) post-COVID-19. However, only a few simultaneous afflictions of COVID-19 with GBS have been reported. Therefore, our study aims to investigate a case of GBS along with COVID-19 infection in India. A 22-year-old male with no medical history presented with fever along with global weakness and breathing difficulty. There was no history of travel. At the time of admission, he had developed quadriparesis and had muscular strength of 2/5 in bilateral lower limbs and 3/5 in bilateral upper limbs. When the patient developed breathing difficulty, he was transferred to the intensive care unit. The cerebrospinal fluid evaluation showed albumin-cytological dissociation, and a nerve conduction study was done. The patient was managed by neuro physiotherapy 34 days after COVID-19 exposure. After proper physiotherapy and rehabilitation, the patient was able to return to his college life.

Background. Guillain-Barre syndrome is an immune-mediated polyradiculoneuropathy characterized by acute neurological symptoms, usually following an infectious disease. The discovery of links between coronavirus infection and GBS has made the analysis even more relevant. The aim. To evaluate the efficacy of rehabilitation for patients with GuillainBarre syndrome (GBS). Methods. A systematic literature review was performed according to PRISMA statement. A literature search had begun on January 10, 2022, and ended on May 1, 2022. The search was performed in Pubmed, ScienceDirect, and ClinicalKey databases. Inclusion criteria were research articles published less than five years ago, written in English, evaluating the efficacy of rehabilitation for patients with GBS. Results. The research strategy identified 606 results. After excluding duplicates (n = 230), and after a thorough assessment, six studies were included. Every study showed positive effects of rehabilitation in patients with GBS. Two studies used GBS – Disability Score to evaluate rehabilitation efficacy, which had positive results (p < 0.0001 and p < 0.01). Another study found that supervised, individualized exercise was more efficient than unsupervised home exercise. There was also a study with groups of children with GBS, who had electromyographic biofeedback therapy, that showed positive dynamics (p < 0.05). Another study assessed neuropathic pain and presented a reduction in pain after rehabilitation (p < 0.05). Conclusion. Patients with GBS have achieved significant positive changes in mobility, cognitive function, and performance of daily tasks after rehabilitation treatment. Keywords: Guillain-Barre syndrome, rehabilitation, electrical stimulation, physical therapy, exercise.

BackgroundExercise intensity is a key component of an exercise prescription. This meta‐analysis aimed to investigate the treatment effect of different exercise doses on fibromyalgia syndrome.MethodsPubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Library were searched from their inception until 29 December 2023. The studies were subjected to screening using a 2‐phase approach by 2 independent reviewers. Reference lists of the included studies were manually searched. Two independent reviewers extracted information regarding the origin, characteristics of study participants, eligibility criteria, characteristics of interventions, outcome measures, and main results using a pre‐defined template.ResultsThis meta‐analysis encompassed a total of 19 randomized controlled trials comprising 857 patients. Compared with the low compliance/uncertain group according to ACSM, the high compliance group showed better effectiveness in general condition improvement (SMD: −1.15 > −0.71), pain relief (SMD: −1.29 > −1.04), sleep quality enhancement (SMD: −1.66 > −1.08), and fatigue relief (SMD: −1.72 > −1.32). However, there was no difference in the improvement of mental health between the two groups (SMD: −0.93 > −0.92).ConclusionCompared to the ACSM group with compliance uncertainty (<70%), the high compliance group showed improvement in general conditions, pain, sleep quality, and fatigue. However, there was no difference in terms of mental health.
