Cognitive impairment in chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Cognitive dysfunction has been repeatedly described as an aspect of chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP), but to which capacities this exactly refers and how it is embedded in the clinical phenotype of the condition remains unknown. Therefore, the detailed cognitive profiles of persons with and without CIDP were compared with each other and the disease-related results analyzed in view of main symptom complexes.

Methods

44 persons with CIDP were studied with respect to their cognitive performances in an extensive computer-based test battery and described clinically in terms of sensorimotor disability (R-ODS), fatigue (FSMC), and mood (DESC-I). The cognitive test results were compared to those of 33 age-matched healthy controls.
