TL;DR
This study explored the use of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) over the primary motor cortex as a potential non-pharmacological treatment for myasthenia gravis, finding no effect on cognitive functions but suggesting possible benefits for symptom management.
Contribution
The paper investigates the application of tDCS in myasthenia gravis, providing preliminary evidence for its safety and potential as an adjunct therapy.
Findings
No effect on cognitive functions
Potential as a non-pharmacological add-on treatment
Larger studies needed for validation
Abstract
Our findings indicated that brain stimulation exerted no effect on the patients cognitive functions. The study outcome suggest that tDCS over primary motor cortex may be considered as a potential nonpharmochological treatment add-on in MG. Larger-sized studies need to evaluate the significance of this approach is real-life practice.
