and one of the issues those with CIDP have to keep in mind is that IVIG is a 'standard accepted OFF LABEL' treatment for CIDP. KEY here is the off label part.

There have been few intermittent studies as to the efficacy of IVIG for neuropathies. Here is one going on right now:

Unfortunately this one is in Germany. The expanding uses of IVIG have created a great demand for it, while supplies are at a constant low. The manufacturers right now have little need or incentive to run any Clinical trials to get it on the ON-LABEL lists.
The following organization seems to be the only group working for those of us with many conditions needing IVIG.
