Research

Mayo Clinic researchers work together to better understand how the immune system functions and how to most effectively treat myasthenia gravis. Researchers trained in nervous system and immune system conditions (neuroimmunology diseases), nervous system and muscle diseases (neuromuscular diseases), electromyography, and other areas study myasthenia gravis, congenital myasthenic syndromes and similar conditions.

Mayo Clinic doctors participate in trials for potential new medicines and surgeries for myasthenia gravis. You may have the opportunity to participate. Learn more about research on neuromuscular diseases.

Research: It's all about patients

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Joseph Sirven, M.D., Professor of Neurology, Mayo Clinic: Mayo's mission is about the patient. The patient comes first. So the mission and research here is to advance how we can best help the patient, how to make sure the patient comes first in care. So in many ways, it's a cycle. It can start with as simple as an idea worked on in a laboratory, brought to the patient bedside, and if everything goes right — and let's say it's helpful or beneficial — then brought on as a standard approach. And I think that is one of the unique characteristics of Mayo's approach to research — that patient-centeredness — that really helps to put it in its own spotlight.
