Environmental Factors Associated With Peripheral Neuropathies in French Guiana

NCT07341997 · Status: RECRUITING · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 78

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Peripheral neuropathies (PN) affect 1% of the global population, particularly the elderly. About 20-30% of cases remain unexplained. In French Guiana, we hypothesize that factors like neurotoxic traditional plant remedies, arboviral disease outbreaks, and mercury exposure from illegal gold mining may contribute to PN. The study aims to assess the association between PN and exposure to arboviral infections, heavy metals, and plant consumption in French Guiana.
