Clinical Trial: Multispectral Optoacoustic Imaging for the Detection of Inflammation and Damage of Peripheral Nerves in Guillain-Barre Syndrome and Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy

U.S., Aug. 15 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07121985) titled 'Multispectral Optoacoustic Imaging for the Detection of Inflammation and Damage of Peripheral Nerves in Guillain-Barre Syndrome and Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy' on Aug. 06.

Brief Summary: The aim of this study is to assess disease activity in patients with Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy (CIDP) and Guillain-Barre Syndrome (GBS) using multispectral optoacoustic tomography (MSOT).

The currently available diagnostic procedures for CIDP and GBS do not allow for a clear distinction between remission and active disease and show limitations in sensitivity and specificity during acute diagnostics. Th...
