Demyelinated not Destroyed

Socialstyrelsen in Stockholm, Sweden is presently doing research on CIDP.

From their website:

The Neurology Clinic at Karolinska University Hospital and Linköping University Hospital are conducting research projects on CIDP. Current projects aim to investigate changes in immunological characteristics of white blood cells as well as neuropeptides and nerve growth factors in blood, spinal fluid, and nerve tissue. There is also an on-going physiotherapeutic long-term study of CIDP patients which aims to map the degree of disability over time, and to develop new methodology and scales to measure the effect of CIDP treatment. For more information please contact Dr. Rayomand Press, (see contact details under the heading “Resource personnel”), and Professor Jan Ernerudh at the Departments of Neurology and Immunology at Linköping University Hospital.

There is also a TON of information posted about CIDP at the link. While the medical jargon might be a bit heavy for some, it’s definitely worth a read.
