RESEARCH VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES FOR PANS/PANDAS

PANS IVIG Study
Researchers aim to enroll 92 patients with a confirmed diagnosis of moderate to severe PANS (Pediatric Acute-onset Neuropsychiatric Syndrome) to determine the sustainability of the reduction of the severity of symptoms in children treated with intravenous human normal immunoglobulin and to assess its efficacy in reducing functional impairment associated with PANS. This is a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled superiority study.
