Sponsor

Institut de Myologie, France

Enrollment

50 participants

Start Date

Apr 8, 2026

Study Type

OBSERVATIONAL

Conditions

Summary

Individuals with MG (IwMG) experience shortness of breath that may be activity-related, occur at rest and even happen during sleep. Dyspnea is a complex, multidimensional and multifactorial symptom involving sensory perception, cognition and emotion. Identifying the cause(s) of dyspnea in MG may assist in finding therapeutic strategies, reducing discomfort, improving QoL and potentially limiting respiratory deterioration and incidence of MG crisis.
