Has anyone experience of electrotherapy with CIDP (Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy) patients???
Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy (CIDP) is an acquired immune-mediated inflammatory disorder of the peripheral nervous system but often can have central nervous system involvement. The disorder is sometimes called chronic relapsing polyneuropathy. CIDP is closely related to Guillain-Barre syndrome and it is considered the chronic counterpart of that acute disease. Its symptoms are also similar to progressive inflammatory neuropathy.
I just knew it had something to do with Guillain Barre. So, ... I have done the Wikipedia thing and there you go. I had lots of Guillain Barre patients, but never one that was given such a specific diagnosis.
Cheers,
Andrea
