Condition: CIDP

Study Type: OBSERVATIONAL


Official Title: Validation of Cutaneous Nerve Demyelination in Diagnosis and Treatment of CIDP

Brief Summary: The goal of this observational study is to learn about chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy.The main question the investigators would like to answer is 1) can skin biopsy identify demyelination better than nerve conduction studies (electrical tests of the nerves)?and 2) how do nerves improve after treatment in CIDP?Participants will be asked to undergo skin biopsy of the finger at baseline and at 3 months and 6 months after treatment with IVIG (which is the FDA approved treatment for CIDP).
