Core Tip
Core tip: Medical treatment of extramedullary myelinolysis is beneficial for alleviating development of the disease, but treatment of patients with motor dysfunction, dysarthria, and other complications is poor, leading to difficulties in patient daily living, self-care, and social activity. Active intervention in rehabilitation has a beneficial effect on patient functional recovery.
