Ultrasound for nerve disease diagnosis
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study uses ultrasound to look at nerves in people with a nerve condition called polyneuropathy that isn't caused by something else. It aims to see if ultrasound can help doctors diagnose this condition better.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 80 years old.
- You have signs of a nerve problem (polyneuropathy) that doctors haven't explained yet.
- Your nerve problem is not due to a pinched or compressed nerve.
- You haven't had a recent nerve injury.
- You don't have certain rare nerve conditions like vasculitic neuropathy or diabetic radiculoplexoneuropathy.

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 uses ultrasound to look at nerves in people with peripheral neuropathy. It may help doctors better understand the condition.
This study looks at ultrasound images of nerves in people with a rare nerve condition called sensory neuronopathy. The goal is to better understand the nerve changes seen on ultrasound, which may help doctors diagnose and manage the condition more effectively.
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.
This study uses ultrasound to examine nerves in people with type 2 diabetes who have nerve damage in their legs or feet. Researchers will compare ultrasound findings with blood tests to understand why some people develop this complication and how to better detect it early.
