What are the Treatment Options for Schwannomatosis?
There is currently no cure for schwannomatosis, but various treatments can help manage the symptoms. These include:
Pain management: Medications such as anticonvulsants, antidepressants, and opioids can help control chronic pain. In some cases, nerve blocks or other interventional pain procedures may be necessary. Surgery: Surgical removal of tumors can relieve pain and other symptoms. However, surgery carries risks and is not always feasible, especially if the tumors are located near vital structures. Physical therapy: Physical therapy can help maintain muscle strength and mobility. Counseling and support: Psychological support can help patients cope with the chronic pain and other challenges of living with schwannomatosis.
