CIDP Journey

Welcome to The CIDP Journey. Join us for a multimedia exploration of where CIDP (chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy) treatment and research stands, what the future of care may hold, and the experiences of clinicians and patients as they collaborate on the frontlines of CIDP care.

The CIDP Journey will examine new insights on the importance of accurate and timely diagnosis of CIDP as well as the need to carefully differentiate it from similar disorders.

We will spotlight the collaborative efforts that are enabling patients with CIDP to lead lifestyles consistent with their capabilities. Join us as we examine new medications and other treatment modalities, and address quality-of-life decisions for patients dealing with medication side effects and psychosocial difficulties.

Experience discussions of the role of patient and physician collaboration in sustaining continuity of care and in tailoring therapy to individual patient needs and preferences. And, importantly, view the impact of CIDP through the eyes of individual patients who generously tell their stories of how they build their lives around their abilities, not their disabilities.

The road to a cure for CIDP lies ahead. Along the way, clinicians, physicians, and patients are sharing their stories of working toward that goal at The CIDP Journey. We invite you to join them.

Scope of CIDP could be broadened to ‘syndrome’ status

As experts revise the guideline on management of chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy, some in the clinical neurology field are calling for a regrouping of CIDP under a more general, overarching term, “CIDP syndrome” (CIDPS).

Real-world data back electrodiagnostic testing for suspected peripheral neuropathies

Electrodiagnostic testing frequently provides important information when evaluating patients with suspected peripheral neuropathy, based on a retrospective look at real-world data.

Immunoglobulin shortages may be an ordeal for patients with CIDP

fter receiving intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg) to treat chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP) for nearly 20 years, Christina Caron heard about a recent immunoglobulin shortage via social media.

Experts offer tips for accurate CIDP diagnosis

Recent studies have identified diagnostic pitfalls.

Rituximab rising as alternative treatment for refractory CIPD

Early intervention is the key to minimizing disability for patients with chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP), and data from several recent studies support the monoclonal anti-CD20 antibody rituximab as a possible treatment when first-line treatments are not effective.
