TCM Tongue Diagnosis and Syndrome Differentiation in Myasthenia Gravis Compared to Healthy Controls

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.
