Ultrasound for diagnosing polyneuropathy
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study uses ultrasound to look at the nerves of people who have polyneuropathy, a condition where nerves outside the brain and spinal cord are damaged. The goal is to see if ultrasound can help diagnose the condition better. If you have signs of polyneuropathy, this study might help you get a clearer diagnosis.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 18 and 80 years old.
- You must have clinical signs of polyneuropathy (nerve damage causing numbness, tingling, or weakness in your hands or feet) that isn't explained by another cause.
- You cannot have a pinched nerve or nerve compression (like carpal tunnel syndrome).
- You cannot have a nerve injury from trauma.
- You cannot have certain other nerve conditions, such as nerve damage from blood vessel inflammation, diabetic nerve problems, or inherited nerve conditions.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at genetic differences in people being checked for a common type of nerve problem called distal symmetric polyneuropathy (nerve damage that usually affects the hands and feet). By understanding genetics, researchers hope to learn more about why neuropathic (nerve) pain happens and how it may differ between people.
This study looks at certain markers in the blood that may help predict how polyneuropathy (nerve damage) will progress. It involves physical tests, and results could help doctors better understand the condition.
This study uses a special ultrasound to look at your nerves to better understand peripheral neuropathy (nerve damage). It aims to improve diagnosis and treatment planning without any surgery or needles.
This study looks at how ultrasound pictures of nerves can help doctors understand sensory neuronopathies. It is not a treatment trial, but it may help improve diagnosis and care for people with this condition.
This study tests if ultrasound can find nerve problems in people with Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) and chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP), and if it helps doctors diagnose and predict outcomes early.
This trial uses a special ultrasound technique to see if it can detect nerve damage in people with diabetes. It may help doctors find diabetic peripheral neuropathy earlier and more accurately.
