Application of Artificial Intelligence for Precision Medicine in TCM Tongue Diagnosis and Syndrome Differentiation in Myasthenia Gravis Compared to Healthy Controls

Important: This information is not medical advice. Talk to your doctor about whether a clinical trial is right for you.

About This Trial

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. However, results can vary among different practitioners. Therefore, you are interested in using scientific methods to compare TCM tongue diagnosis images between patients with myasthenia gravis and healthy individuals to aid in diagnosis.
