TheRapeutic Effect of Different immunosuppressAnts on Non-Thymoma Ocular Myasthenia Gravis: a Real-world Study
About This Trial
This study collects the clinical data of new-onset ocular myasthenia gravis (OMG) patients, assesses outcomes and adverse effects of different treatment options, and evaluate risk factors of conversion to generalized MG(GMG).

Patients with ocular muscle type MG who have never received treatment meet one of the diagnoses (1) and (2)-(5): (1) The patient's symptoms involve the extraocular muscles, except for drooping eyelids and diplopia, no other clinical symptoms; (2) unequivocal clinical response to pyridostigmine; (3) positive acetylcholine receptor antibody or musk antibody; (4) decrement of more than 10% in repetitive nerve stimulations study (RNS); (5) the "trembling" of the single fiber electromyography (SFEMG) is broadened with or without blockade;
3. Willingness to sample collection, imaging study and other disease-related examinations and assessments;
4. The results of pregnancy tests for female subjects with fertility during the screening period should be negative and effective contraception was used by the patient and her spouse during the study period;
5. Patients with willing to sign a consent form;
6. Predicted survival time is longer than 3 years.
Who Should NOT Join This Trial:

3. Age ≤18 years or ≥75 years;
4. Patients who have been taking glucocorticoids or associated immunosuppressants due to other immune system diseases;
