Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy (CIDP) is a rare, autoimmune neurological disorder that affects the peripheral nerves. It causes progressive muscle weakness, numbness, and reduced reflexes, typically in both the arms and legs. While CIDP can be debilitating, early and accurate diagnosis followed by targeted treatment can significantly improve outcomes and quality of life.
At Southern Neurology in Miranda, we offer specialized care for patients experiencing symptoms of CIDP. Our team of neurologists is dedicated to providing thorough assessments, clear diagnoses, and effective, evidence-based treatments tailored to each individual’s needs.
How We Diagnose CIDP
At Southern Neurology, our approach begins with a comprehensive neurological examination. This may include:
Nerve conduction studies and EMG testing to assess electrical activity in muscles and nerves
Blood tests to rule out other causes of neuropathy
Lumbar puncture (spinal tap) to detect elevated protein in the cerebrospinal fluid
MRI scans to identify inflammation or nerve root thickening
These diagnostic tools help confirm a CIDP diagnosis and guide appropriate treatment planning.
