An observational study in Polyneuropathies, sponsored by University Medical Centre Ljubljana. Not yet recruiting. Open to participants aged 18 Years to 80 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2024-04-30.
Sponsored by University Medical Centre Ljubljana · Observational
The main goal of this trial is to establish recommendations for clinical practice that enhance the reliability, accessibility and convenience of sheer wave elastography as a routine diagnostic test for diverse peripheral neuropathies.
133 studies on the registry are indexed under Polyneuropathies; 33 are open to participants now.
This study's planned enrollment of 120 is above the median of 100 across 53 observational studies indexed under Polyneuropathies.
