Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy (CIDP) is a rare, autoimmune neurological disorder that affects the peripheral nerves. It causes progressive muscle weakness, numbness, and reduced reflexes, typically in both the arms and legs. While CIDP can be debilitating, early and accurate diagnosis followed by targeted treatment can significantly improve outcomes and quality of life.
At Southern Neurology in Miranda, we offer specialised care for patients experiencing symptoms of CIDP. Our team of neurologists is dedicated to providing thorough assessments, clear diagnoses, and effective, evidence-based treatments tailored to each individual’s needs.
What Is CIDP?
CIDP is characterized by inflammation of the peripheral nerves and damage to the myelin sheath — the protective covering around nerves. This condition can develop slowly over weeks or months and may continue to worsen without treatment. Common symptoms include:
- Persistent tingling or numbness in hands and feet
- Progressive muscle weakness
- Difficulty walking or maintaining balance
- Fatigue
- Loss of reflexes
Although CIDP shares symptoms with other neurological disorders, its cause and course of progression are unique, making professional diagnosis essential.
CIDP Treatment Options in Miranda
CIDP is a treatable condition, and many patients respond well to therapy. At Southern Neurology, we offer a range of evidence-based treatment options, including:
Corticosteroids to reduce nerve inflammation
Immunoglobulin therapy (IVIg) to modulate the immune response
