How well nerve tests detect neuropathy across ages
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study looks at how well a nerve test result (the ratio of two nerve signals) can help tell apart types of peripheral neuropathy, and whether age affects that test's accuracy. It uses information from patients already evaluated at a specialized center.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You have a diagnosis of peripheral sensory polyneuropathy (nerve damage causing sensory symptoms).
- Your neuropathy is classified as either length-dependent or non-length-dependent.
- You have had a nerve conduction study that included measurements from your sural (ankle) and radial (wrist) nerves.
- You have been evaluated at Nice University Hospital's rare neuromuscular disease center.

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 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.
This study collects medical data from people with peripheral neuropathy to better understand the condition. It includes simple nerve tests and exams, and does not test any new treatments.
This study tests how sensitive healthy people's nerves are to mild electrical stimulation on the arm. It aims to understand normal nerve response and could help improve treatments for nerve-related conditions.
This study looks at how people with peripheral neuropathy participate in clinical research over time. It aims to learn what helps or hinders engagement, which may improve future trials.
