Filter by:A study of patients with hereditary transthyretin amyloidosis (ATTRv) and wild-type transthyretin amyloidosis (ATTRwt) that have been enrolled in B3461028 and B3461045 studies in Spain - exposed to tafamidis 61mg for ≥12 months with polyneuropathy (PN) have kept going to their multisystemic follow-ups (neuro/ophthalmo/gastrointestinal) ≥12 months.
This study evaluated the effect of joint position sense on compliance with the prosthesis, balance and functional performance in individuals with lower extremity amputation due to diabetic polyneuropathy. Study group consisted of 16 subjects with unilateral transtibial amputation due to diabetic polyneuropathy and control group consisted of 16 subjects with unilateral transtibial amputation due to traumatic reasons.
This is a controlled clinical trial with the aim to study the effects of electroacupuncture on neuropathic pain reduction, quality of life and changes in sensory and motor nerve conduction velocity in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, beneficiaries of the familiar medical centers 20, 40 and 41 of the Instituto Mexicano del Seguro Social, at north of Mexico City, in colaboration with the human acupuncture specialty of the Escuela Nacional de Medicina y Homeopatía, Instituto Politécnico Nacional, Mexico.
Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathies (CIDP) are acquired, autoimmune and inflammatory neuropathies leading mainly to gait disorders in patients. Assessment of gait disorders is a major component of therapeutic management, but evaluation is sometimes difficult due to the fluctuating nature of the symptoms. The principal objective of this study is to compare the walking speed of patients with a reference method (GAITRITE® walkway) and an innovative one (FEETME® connected soles) with the aim of validating the use of theses connected soles in CIDP gait disorders evaluation.
This study will be conducted to investigate the relationship between glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) and nerve conduction studies (NCS) with gait performance in patients with DPN. 65 patients with type II DM with moderate polyneuropathy will participate in this study. Glycosylated Hemoglobin (HbA1c) test will be done for each patient by using the Colorimeter device. Nerve conduction studies (NCS) will be performed for each patient by using the electromyography device to confirm the diagnosis of DPN. The neurophysiological functions of peripheral nerves including (The Common peroneal, Tibial, Sural, and Ulnar motor & sensory branches) will be measured. Spatiotemporal gait parameters (stride length, cadence& velocity) for all the patients will be assessed by two-dimension video-based motion analysis (2D).
The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of nipocalimab compared to placebo in delaying relapse in adults with chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP) who initially respond to nipocalimab in Stage A.
This prospective study was was divided into 2 parts and carried out at 2 sites in Germany. Part 1 assessed Repeatability in healthy, non-diabetic population (Group "control"). Part 2 collected data to evaluate the diagnostic and prognostic value of using Heidelberg Engineering Retina Tomograph (HRT) 3 with the Rostock Cornea Module EyeGuidance functional module (HRT RCM-E) in subjects with early to moderate DPN (Groups"none" and "mild", respectively).
The primary aim is to establish a prospective cohort of patients with plasma cell disorders (PCDs). All of the hospitalized PCD patients who are willing to sign the informed consent form (ICF) will be included in this study. Clinical characteristics, treatment options and responses will be collected. Peripheral blood, bone marrow aspirate and urine samples before and after the treatment will banked for future research. Our team will focus on the clinical and pathological features of PCDs, the correlation between the minimal residual disease (MRD) status and prognosis, and the role of Tumor Microenvironment (TME) in the pathogenesis and progress of PCDs.
Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuritis (CIDP) is an autoimmune disorder of the peripheral nervous system, most commonly affecting the myelin sheath. The pathophysiology of CIDP is not completely understood, but both humoral and cellular immunity appear to be involved in the genesis of this disease. Some diseases are particularly associated with CIDP such as diabetes, monoclonal gammopathies and hematological diseases. CIDP can occur before, after or simultaneously with the onset of systemic diseases. The systemic diseases most often seen in association with polyneuropathies are lupus, Gougerot-Sjögren's syndrome and sarcoidosis. Ultrasound of peripheral nerves is a useful and accessible tool. In CIDP, this examination can reveal diffuse or segmental nerve hypertrophy. In addition to the size of the nerve, this exploration analyzes the echogenicity and the aspect of the different fascicles within the nerve. S. Goedee et al have shown that nerve ultrasound has very good diagnostic parameters and low interobserver variability in the diagnosis of CIDP. F. Härtig et al suggests that nerve ultrasound can predict the therapeutic response and describes 3 main patterns: hypoechoic enlargement (active inflammation), nerve enlargement with hyperechoic add-on fascicles (axonal degeneration) and almost no enlargement ("cured" CIDP).
Chronic dysimmune neuropathies (CDN) are a heterogenous group of acquired inflammatory demyelinating neuropathies including chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathies (CIDP), Lewis-Sumner Syndrome (LSS), multifocal motor neuropathy (MMN) and other rare entities. Despite their relatively low prevalence, CDN lead to substantial costs for patients and society. CDN are usually misdiagnosed due to progressive nature of the disease with little known data regarding disease activity and treatment response
