Charcot-Marie-Tooth Treatment
Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) Treatment at Stanford
Everyone experiences Charcot-Marie-Tooth differently. At Stanford, we use precise, personalized treatments that address the patient's unique symptoms.
We take a comprehensive, multispecialty approach to treating individuals with Charcot-Marie-Tooth. We bring expert doctors, physical and occupational therapists, a genetic counselor, and social worker together in one location to design an individualized treatment plan.
Treating Charcot-Marie-Tooth: What to Expect
Because there is no cure for CMT, treatment focuses on addressing symptoms and maintaining independence and quality of life to the extent possible. Treatment for Charcot-Marie-Tooth may include:
- Physical and occupational therapy to improve function and gait stability
- Orthotic braces and other devices to support weakened legs
- Social work consultations to connect you with CMT support groups
Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) Clinical Trials
Stanford investigators are participating in ÌÇÐÄ´«Ã½ studies to increase their understanding of genes that may cause Charcot-Marie-Tooth. We also participate in investigations of new treatment approaches for CMT.
Clinical Trials
Clinical trials are ÌÇÐÄ´«Ã½ studies that evaluate a new medical approach, device, drug, or other treatment. As a ÌÇÐÄ´«Ã½ patient, you may have access to the latest, advanced clinical trials.
Open trials refer to studies currently accepting participants. Closed trials are not currently enrolling, but may open in the future.
