    MLD Treatment Eligibility Panels in ERN-RND

    Twitter_ERN_EN_2017_1
    In cooperation with the MLD initiative, ERN-RND established a standard pathway for consulting an international MLD expert panel whenever possible benefits of treatment with hematopoietic stem cell transplantation or gene therapy are not straightforward for a patient with confirmed MLD diagnosis. Upon submission of an eligible case, the treatment eligibility panel is convened on an ad hoc basis, organized and supported by the ERN-RND CPMS helpdesk.

    We encourage all physicians in Europe to discuss the possible benefits of treatment options for difficult cases with this MLD expert panel.

    You would like to discuss one of your patients with the panel?
    Please contact us.

    Neuropathies Rehabilitation Summer School

    The Neuropathies Rehabilitation Summer School by ERN EURO-NMD is a specialized event designed for physiotherapists, occupational therapists, clinicians with an interest in neuromuscular diseases, clinicians specializing in rehabilitation medicine, and patient advocacy groups.

    The primary objective of this summer school is to disseminate knowledge about current and future modalities of rehabilitation in rare and complex neuropathies. The Neuropathies Rehabilitation Summer School will take place from September 18-21, 2023 in Hotel Excel Roma Montemario, Rome, Italy.

    The event aims to educate clinicians, researchers, physiotherapists, and patient advocacy groups working in the field of rehabilitation and neuromuscular diseases. The program covers a wide range of topics, including the basics of rehabilitation for peripheral neuropathies, new trends in rehabilitation medicine, innovative technological rehabilitation, and telerehabilitation. It also focuses on rehabilitation applied to specific peripheral neuropathies, emphasizing disease-specific sessions.
