Characterization of myasthenia gravis using clinical classification and repetitive nerve stimulation

Abstract: Caractérisation de la myasthénie grave à l'aide de la classification clinique et de la stimulation répétitive nerveuse Introduction. Les tests de stimulation nerveuse sont essentiels pour le diagnostic précoce et le suivi des maladies neuromusculaires. L'objectif de l'étude était de caractériser et de valider cliniquement les tests de stimulation nerveuse répétitive (RNS) chez des patients atteints de la maladie neuromusculaire auto-immune chronique, la myasthénie grave (MG). Matériel et méthodes. Une évaluati… Show more

“…The patients were diagnosed with MG and classified according to the Myasthenia Gravis Foundation of America (MGFA) disease severity classification. 17 The diagnoses were made by specialized physicians who independently assessed the patients’ clinical conditions. The patients presented with specific clinical manifestations as follows 18 : (i) fatigable weakness of muscles, exacerbated during strenuous activities, more severe at the end of the day, and mildly relieved with rest or the use of cholinesterase inhibitors; (ii) atypical distribution of muscular involvement, typically involving ocular and bulbar muscles; and (iii) no sensory disturbance or pain.…”
