CIDP guidelines

Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy (CIDP) is a neurological condition where the immune system mistakenly attacks nerves, leading to weakness, numbness, and impaired coordination. Guidelines for CIDP focus on accurate diagnosis through clinical exams, nerve tests, and ruling out other causes. Treatment options include corticosteroids, intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG), or plasma exchange to reduce immune activity. Regular monitoring helps assess response, and physical therapy can improve strength. The goal is to manage symptoms, slow disease progression, and improve quality of life. Tailoring treatment to each patient is important, and ongoing research continues to refine care strategies.
