Peripheral neuropathy electrophysiological screening in inflammatory bowel disease.

Aim: Peripheral neuropathy is often described in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). The aim of this study was to assess the need for neurophysiological testing in IBD patients without neurological symptoms or signs to detect early subclinical neuropathy and its possible correlations with clinical and demographic characteristics.

Materials And Methods: Ninety-seven consecutive IBD patients were screened for neurological symptoms and clinical signs, and those without symptoms or signs were included.
