ABSTRACT
Glucocorticoid pulse therapy is an important means to induce remission of neuroimmune diseases in acute attack stage. However, the specific programs of glucocorticoid pulse therapy in domestic hospitals are not standardized and unified at present. Here, glucocorticoid pulse therapy in acute attack of neuroimmune diseases in national and international guidelines in last decade are reviewed and summarized. Glucocorticoid pulse therapy follows the principle of large dosage and short course of treatment, and intravenous methylprednisolone 1 000 mg/d for three days to five days is the most common regimen. According to the characteristics of diseases, the dosage reduction regimens are different. Standardized glucocorticoid pulse therapy can not only maximize its curative effects, but also minimize its side effects, which deserves the attention of clinicians.
