Abstract

For gMG patients, the facial and accessory nerve detection can improve the positive rate of RNS. Different muscles had various sensitivity to PB, and orbicularis oculi muscle seemed the least sensitive muscle to PB. For suspect MG patients in severe condition, only discontinuing PB medication for 8 h before low-frequency RNS testing can avoid the deterioration and also obtain similar positive rate.
