A new peripheral neuropathy activities measure, the Overall Neuropathy Limitations Scale (ONLS), was derived by modifying the Overall Disability Sum Score (ODSS) slightly. Its inter-rater reliability was found to be high and its correlation with the ODSS (r = 0.97), 36-item Short Form Questionnaire Physical Component Summary Score, and participation and impairment measures was significant. Acceptable responsiveness (standardised response mean 0.76) was shown by the ONLS. The results obtained from the questionnaire agreed closely with those obtained from observation of the tasks on the ONLS, but were not equivalent. The simplicity of the ODSS is shared by the ONLS, but the ONLS has better content validity and less ceiling effect, which may make it more useful for clinical practice and research.read more

TL;DR: Advances in prognostic modelling have resulted in the development of a new and simple prognostic outcome scale that might also help to guide new treatment options, particularly in patients with GBS who have a poor prognosis.

TL;DR: Severe neuropathic pain and not only disability contributed to worsening the quality of life in patients with traumatic neuropathies, and there was a strong correlation between thequality of life and the severity of the pain, particularly neuropathicPain.

TL;DR: The R-ODS is a linearly weighted scale that specifically captures activity and social participation limitations in patients with GBS, CIDP, and MGUSP and is valuable for future clinical trials and follow-up studies in these conditions.

TL;DR: Ascorbic acid supplementation had no significant effect on neuropathy compared with placebo after 2 years, suggesting that no evidence is available to support treatment with ascorbIC acid in adults with CMT1A.

TL;DR: This study provides Class IV evidence that rituximab is effective for patients with treatment-resistant CIDP with IgG4 anti-CNTN1 or anti-NF155 antibodies who are resistant to conventional therapies.

TL;DR: An additional score (MRC‐sumscore), reflecting muscle strength in general, is developed, easily assessed and more sensitive than the functional score when patients are bedridden or artificially ventilated.
