Researchers at Oregon Health & Science University have identified a gene that plays a crucial role in the brain's ability to ...

A sutureless device for peripheral nerve repair could be available on the market in the coming months. The Food and Drug Administration has authorized a polymer-based device developed by medical ...

The US Food and Drug Administration has approved a new system for nerve repair based on light-activated polymers rather than surgical stitches. The flexible polymer system was developed by the ...

Objective To validate sphingomyelin (SM) dosage in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of patients affected by chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy (CIDP) and Guillain-Barré syndrome ...

Findings in median motor nerve conduction studies in a patient with POEMS (polyneuropathy, organomegaly, endocrinopathy, M protein and skin changes) syndrome and in a patient with chronic inflammatory ...

A new study has found the non-invasive application of in-ear electrical stimulation to the vagus nerve to be safe and effective in reducing osteoarthritis-related knee pain. It opens the door to ...

Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP) diagnoses are frequently missed or delayed and standard treatments -- intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG), steroids, and plasma exchange ...

Nerve conduction studies revealed absent sensory and motor responses in the patient’s median, ulnar, tibial, and sural nerves. The patient was administered methylprednisolone, IVIG, and plasma ...

Nerve stiffness could be used as a noninvasive biomarker for demyelinating neuropathies like CIDP and help develop standardized protocols.

MOTOR regeneration of the median nerve after transection and repair of the median nerve at the wrist occurs in only about 5 per cent of cases. The thumb is incapable of abduction and opposition wit ...

With rigorous testing planned in specialized animal models, the next phase of this research will determine whether CS6253 can safely and effectively restore nerve function. If successful, the drug ...
