Dynamics of Nerve Conduction Studies in Patients With Guillain–Barré Syndrome

open access: yesMuscle &Nerve, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction/Aims The value of electrodiagnostic subtyping of Guillain–Barré syndrome (GBS) is still debated. This study aimed to determine the diagnostic yield, timing, and changes of the electrodiagnostic subtyping in patients with GBS in serial nerve conduction studies (NCS).
