Study Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine if peripheral nerve ultrasound can be used as a supplemental tool to diagnose Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS) in the acute setting and aid in prognostication.

Primary Outcome

Internerve CSA variability for each patient will be calculated as: maximal intranerve CSA variability/minimal intranerve CSA variability. Intranerve CSA variability for each nerve will be calculated as: maximal CSA/minimal CSA for median and ulnar nerves.

Interventions

  • DIAGNOSTIC_TEST Peripheral nerve ultrasound
  • DIAGNOSTIC_TEST Measurement of strength
