NCT ID NCT03918421
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study is gathering detailed information from 45 people with a rare nerve condition called IgM-anti-MAG peripheral neuropathy. The goal is to better understand the different types of the disease, how it changes over time, and how patients respond to treatments. Researchers will use this data to create a new questionnaire that measures how the condition affects daily life.
