AFM does not have a particular therapy, although a doctor who specializes in disorders like AFM may propose specific measures on a case-by-case basis. Clinicians may, for example, offer physical or occupational therapy to aid with arm or leg weakness caused by AFM. They may also recommend exercises to strengthen your arms and legs to help prevent future episodes of AFM. There is no cure for AFM, but it can be controlled. The goal of treatment is to reduce the frequency and severity of attacks while maintaining quality of life. AFM management includes prevention of further attacks, control of symptoms, correction of any underlying medical conditions, and support of the patient's mental health. Patients should be advised to avoid tasks that might trigger an attack (for example, lifting objects over their head). If an attack does occur, patients should try to remain as calm and relaxed as possible. A trained healthcare professional should be consulted immediately if someone experiences symptoms such as vision problems, chest pain, shortness of breath, or other issues. The only way to completely prevent AFM attacks is not to provoke them. This means avoiding activities that require use of the arms above shoulder level, such as carrying items that are too heavy for the patient to handle themselves. It also means being aware of potential triggers in yourself and others. If you know you are at risk for AFM attacks, it is important to avoid those triggers.
