Heart changes in children with Guillain-Barré syndrome
Part of Brain & nervous system, Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
This study looks at how Guillain-Barré syndrome, a condition that causes muscle weakness, might affect the heart in children. It aims to find out if there are heart problems that need extra care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study interviews children who had Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) to understand their experiences after recovery. It may help doctors better support young patients with GBS.
This study uses ultrasound to look at the nerves in children with Guillain-Barré syndrome, a condition that causes weakness. It aims to see if ultrasound can help doctors understand or monitor the disease.
This trial studies whether an inpatient rehabilitation program can help people with Guillain-Barré syndrome. It may be useful if you need structured therapy and support during recovery.
This trial compares two blood-based treatments for Guillain-Barré syndrome: one that filters antibodies from the blood (immunoadsorption) and one that uses donated antibodies (IVIG). Both aim to reduce nerve damage and speed up recovery, and researchers want to see which works better.
This trial tests whether an experimental drug called efgartigimod (given as an infusion) can help people with Guillain-Barré syndrome recover faster. It is for adults who recently developed symptoms and have significant weakness that affects their walking.
This trial tests whether noninvasive breathing support (like a mask or nasal prongs) can help people with Guillain-Barré syndrome who have trouble breathing. It aims to see if this approach can avoid the need for a breathing tube.
