New scan could spot rare nerve disorder faster

NCT ID NCT05095870

Summary

This study tested whether a simple, non-invasive ultrasound scan could help doctors diagnose a rare genetic condition called CANVAS. CANVAS causes problems with balance, coordination, and sensation due to nerve damage. Researchers compared ultrasound images of nerves in 35 people with CANVAS to see if the nerves looked different, which could make diagnosis easier and quicker.
