Why Am I Short of Breath? A Study in Myasthenia Gravis
Part of Brain & nervous system, Cancer, Immune system & allergy, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at why people with myasthenia gravis (MG) feel short of breath. It aims to understand breathing problems that happen in daily life, even when MG seems stable.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have a confirmed diagnosis of autoimmune myasthenia gravis (MG).
- You have mild to moderate trouble breathing in daily life (not severe and not none).
- You do not have a lung disease that is the main cause of your breathing trouble.
- You have not had a respiratory infection in the past 4 weeks.
- You are not currently having a MG crisis or flare-up that needs stronger medicine or hospital care.

This 10-year study collects information from people with myasthenia gravis to learn more about the condition and improve care. By sharing your experiences, you can help researchers understand what daily life is like and shape future treatments.
This study looks at whether muscle loss (sarcopenia) affects shortness of breath in people with moderate to severe asthma. You may benefit if your asthma is poorly controlled and you can do an exercise test.
This trial studies myasthenic crisis—an urgent, life-threatening worsening of myasthenia gravis that can affect breathing. It aims to better understand and treat people who need breathing support now, or may need it soon.
This study uses digital tools like questionnaires and smartphone tests to measure how myasthenia gravis affects you. It aims to create a better way for doctors to track your symptoms and adjust treatment.
This study compares light exercise (like gentle walking) to moderate exercise (like brisk walking) for people with myasthenia gravis. It aims to see if one type of exercise is safer and more helpful for managing symptoms.
This study checks whether measurements of your breathing muscle (the diaphragm) can act as a useful “biomarker” to track lung disease. You might be asked to do breathing tests and follow study instructions, and your results may help researchers better monitor COPD, asthma, fibrosis, or pulmonary hypertension.
