Scientists hunt for a yardstick to measure rare nerve damage
NCT ID NCT07651540
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jul 10, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study looks at 70 adults with sensory neuronopathy, a rare nerve condition that causes balance and coordination problems. Researchers will test several clinical scales over 12 months to see which one best tracks how the disease changes over time. The goal is to find a reliable tool for monitoring the condition and assessing future treatments.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this study could identify a reliable way to measure disease progression in sensory neuronopathy, helping doctors better track the condition and evaluate treatments.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It may not find a clear winner among the scales, and results may not apply to all patients with sensory neuronopathy.
This is an AI summary of the original study and may miss details. Read our disclaimer.
Study facts

Not a phased trial
Phase numbers describe drug development. The registry uses this when they do not apply, as it does for trials of devices, procedures or behaviour changes, and for observational studies.

Inclusion Criteria: * Patient affiliated with or beneficiary of a social security system * Patient having received appropriate study information * Adult patient ≥18 years old, male or female * Patient diagnosed with probable SN according to Camdessanché et al. diagnostic criteria * SN with one of the following etiologies: Paraneoplastic SN with anti-Hu or anti-CV2/CRMP5 antibodies SN associated with Sjögren's syndrome, systemic lupus erythematosus, or primary biliary cholangitis Platinum-salt-induced SN SN caused by CANVAS syndrome Exclusion Criteria: * Patient unable to understand or read French * Patient refusal to participate * Patient known to have another neuropathy phenotype and/or etiology that could significantly influence clinical scales and electrophysiological parameters, including: * Diabetes mellitus * Significant alcohol consumption * Severe chronic kidney disease (GFR \<30 ml/min) * Vitamin B12 and/or vitamin E deficiency * Vitamin B6 excess * Chemotherapy other than platinum salts * HIV infection
