Using ultrasound to detect nerve changes in GBS and CIDP
Part of Brain & nervous system, Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Aged 18 to 75 years
- Diagnosed with GBS within the last 2 weeks, or diagnosed with CIDP (relapsing or progressive type)
- Willing to undergo exams and assessments for the study
- Able and willing to provide informed consent

This study uses ultrasound to look at nerves in people with peripheral neuropathy. It may help doctors better understand the condition.
This study uses an ultrasound scan to look at muscles and nerves (including the breathing muscle). It may help researchers better understand neuromuscular problems and how well ultrasound can detect them.
This study compares immunoadsorption (a blood-filtering treatment) versus intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) to see which works better and is safer for Guillain-Barré syndrome. It may help you by testing treatments commonly used to reduce nerve damage and improve recovery.
This study uses ultrasound to see how nerve inflammation changes over time in people with a chronic nerve disease called CIDP. It may help doctors choose the best treatment. The trial includes both newly diagnosed patients and those whose current treatment isn't working well.
This study uses a special light and sound imaging technique to see inflammation and damage in the nerves of people with Guillain-Barré syndrome or CIDP. It may help doctors better understand and monitor these conditions.
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.
