Summary
This study looked at whether a modified traditional Chinese herbal formula, Guilu Erxian Glue, can help people with myasthenia gravis (a disease causing muscle weakness). Researchers reviewed medical records of 231 patients who took the herbal formula alongside standard Western medicine. They measured how many patients had a relapse and how quickly they could reduce their regular medications.
