Partner With UsGBS, CIDP and associated neuropathies affect the peripheral nervous system and can significantly impact movement, sensation and everyday life. Understanding these conditions is an important step towards early recognition, appropriate care and better outcomes.
GBS is an inflammatory disorder of the peripheral nerves, the nerves outside the brain and spinal cord. It is characterised by the rapid onset of weakness and can cause paralysis affecting the legs, arms, breathing muscles and face. Abnormal sensations may also accompany the weakness.

CIDP is a rare disorder of the peripheral nerves characterised by gradually increasing weakness and sensory loss, often accompanied by loss of reflexes. Unlike GBS, which typically reaches maximum weakness within days or weeks, CIDP progresses over a longer period.
