Details.
Intravenous magnesium sulfate and steroids, such as methylprednisolone, are administered for neurological conditions involving inflammation, nerve irritation, or chemical imbalance. The therapy may help with severe or refractory migraines, cluster headaches, multiple sclerosis exacerbations, neuropathic pain, trigeminal neuralgia, peripheral nerve inflammation, post-concussive headaches, and certain seizure-related symptoms. Treatment includes placement of a small IV, slow infusion in a seated or reclined infusion chair, monitoring for blood pressure, comfort, and side effects, followed by same-day discharge in most cases. Multiple sessions may be scheduled based on the condition and response to treatment.
