Polyradiculoneuropathy, Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating - Psychology
Research News and Information
Definition of 'Polyradiculoneuropathy, Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating'A slowly progressive autoimmune demyelinating disease of peripheral nerves and nerve roots. Clinical manifestations include weakness and sensory loss in the extremities and enlargement of peripheral nerves. The course may be relapsing-remitting or demonstrate a step-wise progression. Protein is usually elevated in the spinal fluid and cranial nerves are typically spared. GUILLAIN-BARRE SYNDROME features a relatively rapid progression of disease which distinguishes it from this condition. (Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, p1337) |

Health-related quality-of-life improvements in CIDP with immune globulin IV 10%: the ICE Study.
12 Apr 2009 
BACKGROUND: Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy trials have demonstrated the efficacy of IV immunoglobulin vs placebo. However, these trails have not addressed the long-term impact on health-related quality of life (HRQoL). ... Read more...
27 Feb 2007 OBJECTIVE: To elucidate the effects of physical exercise in severely fatigued patients with Guillain-Barré syndrome and chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy, and to clarify the mutual relationships between 5 domains studied in these ... Read more...
18 Mar 2006 OBJECTIVE: To determine which widely used disability measure in Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) and chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP) shows the strongest association with patients' rating scores. METHODS: Five disability scales ... Read more...
