TCM Tongue Diagnosis and Syndrome Differentiation in Myasthenia Gravis Compared to Healthy Controls

Recruiting now · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Myasthenia Gravis

In brief

Myasthenia gravis primarily results from neuromuscular junction dysfunction and damage, leading to chronic muscle weakness. While combined traditional and Western medicine treatments are now common, TCM tongue diagnosis remains a simple and practical clinical method. However, results can vary among different practitioners. Therefore, you are interested in using scientific methods to compare TCM tongue diagnosis images between patients with myasthenia gravis and healthy individuals to aid in diagnosis.
