Sensitivity of Repetitive Nerve Stimulation Performed in the Evening vs in the Morning in Myasthenia Gravis
Condition(s) studied
Study summary
Myasthenia gravis (MG) is the autoimmune disorder affecting the neuromuscular junction, characterized by fatigue, which increases gradually through the day. The repetitive nerve stimulation (RNS) remains the key diagnostic test in MG, however its sensitivity, especially in ocular form of MG is not satisfactory. In this study, investigators want to assess the impact of the time of the day on the sensitivity of the RNS. We hypothesize the RNS performed in the evening may be more sensitive than in the morning.
Eligibility
Primary outcome measure(s)
- Difference in the highest decrement between investigation of nasalis during morning and evening RNS — Through study completion, an average of 1 year.
Difference in the highest decrement between investigation of nasalis during morning (at 8:30 or 8:50 a.m.) RNS with single one-minute voluntary effort and RNS at 2:30 p.m. - Difference in the highest decrement between investigation of trapezius during morning and evening RNS — Through study completion, an average of 1 year.
Difference in the highest decrement between investigation of trapezius during morning (at 8:30 or 8:50 a.m.) RNS with single one-minute voluntary effort and RNS at 2:30 p.m. - Difference in the highest decrement between investigation of nasalis during morning RNS with single and with two voluntary efforts — Through study completion, an average of 1 year.
Difference in the highest decrement between investigation of nasalis during morning (at 8:30 or 8:50 a.m.) RNS with single one-minute voluntary effort and RNS with two one-minute voluntary efforts. - Difference in the highest decrement between investigation of trapezius during morning RNS with single and with two voluntary efforts — Through study completion, an average of 1 year.
