Non-sensorimotor symptoms in chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy
摘要
Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP) is defined as a dysimmune disorder of the peripheral nervous system (PNS) resulting in sensorimotor deficits. However, an increasing body of data suggests that CIDP also goes along with features, such as autonomic, circadian, fatigue, mood, and subtle cognitive dysfunctions. Some of these non-sensorimotor symptoms (NSMS) challenge the concept of an exclusive PNS disease. Pragmatically, the high prevalence of NSMS calls for a more holistic disease assessment and surveillance to achieve optimal therapeutic results.
