Understanding Myasthenia Gravis
Myasthenia Gravis Clinical Trials
Myasthenia Gravis (MG) is a chronic autoimmune neuromuscular disorder that causes weakness in voluntary muscles. This weakness occurs because antibodies interfere with communication between nerves and muscles, blocking the transmission of signals necessary for muscle contraction. MG affects muscles involved in movement, breathing, and swallowing, and its severity can vary widely among individuals.
- Muscle weakness that worsens with activity and improves with rest
- Drooping eyelids (ptosis)
- Difficulty speaking, chewing, or swallowing
- Double vision (diplopia)
- Weakness in the arms, legs, neck, or breathing muscles
- Genetic predisposition or family history of autoimmune diseases
- Presence of a thymoma (tumor in the thymus gland) in some cases
- Unknown triggers in certain individuals
- New treatments, including medications and biologics
- Alternative therapies, such as immunosuppressive drugs or plasma exchange
- Devices or techniques to improve muscle function and quality of life
- Early detection methods and biomarkers
- Access new treatments and therapies before they become widely available
- Receive expert medical care and regular health evaluations
- Contribute to advancing research that may improve outcomes for people with MG
- Play a vital role in the development of therapies that could offer hope to future patients
Who Can Participate?
- Individuals diagnosed with generalized or ocular Myasthenia Gravis
- Patients with moderate to severe muscle weakness
- Those who have not responded well to current treatments
- Healthy individuals willing to serve as control participants
