CIDP (Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy) research studies are looking for volunteers in Florida, with study locations in Miami.
CIDP slowly takes strength and feeling from the hands and feet, and the treatments that hold it back take hours out of every month. Research in this area follows how strength and daily tasks change over time. Join the interest list to hear when something opens nearby.
Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy, or CIDP, is a condition in which the immune system damages the coating of the nerves, causing weakness, numbness or tingling that can build over months. Research in this area follows grip, walking and balance at each visit and looks at treatments that work differently from the ones already available, with a person's neurologist kept involved.
Taking part in this kind of research usually means a first conversation about how symptoms have changed, then visits with simple strength tests and routine lab work. The clinical team explains each step before anyone decides.
Every CIDP program is approved by an independent review board before it opens. Register your interest here and the clinical team will call when a program opens nearby.
What members say
The BonfireFrequently asked questions
Will I have to stop my current treatment?
That is part of the first call: the clinical team asks about current treatment, and nothing changes without the person's neurologist knowing.
What strength tests are used?
Simple ones, such as squeezing a grip meter, walking a short distance and standing up from a chair, repeated over time so the team can see change.
What does joining the interest list mean?
The clinical team keeps your details and calls when a CIDP program opens nearby. Joining does not commit anyone to anything.
Can someone come with me to visits?
Yes. A family member or friend is welcome, and the team can plan visit times around treatment days.
Is there compensation for taking part?
Compensation may be available for your time and inconvenience.
