About this trial
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.
