The clinical research progress of non-motor symptoms in myasthenia gravis

Myasthenia gravis (MG) is an acquired autoimmune disease involving neuromuscular junctions transmit dysfunction. The main clinical manifestations are partial or systemic skeletal muscle weakness and extreme fatigue, increased symptoms after activity, relieved after rest and treatment with cholinesterase inhibitors. However, recent studies have found that patients of MG are not only accompanied by motor symptoms such as muscle weakness and dysphagia, but also with non-motor symptoms. This article reviews the clinical research progress of non-motor symptoms in MG. Key words: Myasthenia gravis; Non-motor symptoms; Sleep disorders; Emotional disorders; Cognitive dysfunction
