New study aims to unravel nerve mysteries in rare diseases
NCT ID NCT07461896
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how nerves work in people with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease and other nerve disorders like CIDP. Researchers will use special electrical tests and ultrasound to measure nerve and muscle changes. The goal is to better understand these conditions, not to test a new treatment. About 39 adults will take part.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: 1. The subject is ≥ 18 years old. AND: 2. A genetically confirmed diagnosis of one of the several CMT subtypes (i.e., CMT1A, CMT1B, CMTX1, CMT2I/J, CMT4B, CMT4D and CMT4J) OR 3. A clinical diagnosis of either Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy or anti-MAG polyneuropathy Exclusion Criteria: 1. Known neuropathy from another cause (e.g., diabetes, chronic renal insufficiency, medications, alcohol), including previous carpal tunnel syndrome surgery. 2. History of exposure to chemotherapeutic agents (e.g., bortezomib, vincristine, cisplatin, taxol, vedotin/auromycin-conjugated antibodies), or other medications (e.g., disulfuram, thalidomide, voriconizole, chronic colchicine use) that can cause neuropathy, active alcohol abuse. 3. History of cancer, other than skin cancer, within 5 years prior to enrollment. 4. Pregnancy or nursing. 5. Known systemic disease that predisposes to neuropathy. 6. Other central nervous system diseases.
