| Core Tip |
Myasthenia gravis (MG) is an autoimmune disease without effective treatments. We herein report a case of intractable MG administered a novel therapy, intravascular laser irradiation of blood interventions (ILIB), which regained muscle power and improved quality of life. To our knowledge, this is the first study investigating the benefits of ILIB treatment in patients with MG. We also evaluated the changes in brain perfusion scan and MG activities of daily living scale, and quantitative MG scale scores. We report this case to trigger further research and facilitate the recovery of patients with MG. |
