Ultrasound of arm and leg nerves in children with Guillain-Barré syndrome
Part of Brain & nervous system, Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 1 and 17 years old.
- You have been diagnosed with Guillain-Barré syndrome (a nerve condition that causes weakness).
- Your parent or guardian agrees to sign a consent form.
- You have not had nerve damage from a previous injury or surgery.
- You do not have another long-term nerve condition (like chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy).
- You do not have a drug-induced nerve problem or other neuromuscular disease that could affect the results.

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 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.
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 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 study uses a special ultrasound to look at the nerves in your arms and legs. It checks for early signs of ICU-acquired weakness, which is muscle weakness that can happen during a long ICU stay. The goal is to find it early so it can be treated sooner.
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.
