Therapeutic options that have been used and discussed over the years are the treatment with anticoagulants, fibrinolytics, corticosteroids, acetazolamide and isovolemic haemodilution.

Nevertheless, the effectiveness and the evidence of these different treatment options could not be verified and remains mostly unknown.
