Can a stimulated muscle biopsy untangle two similar nerve and muscle diseases?
Knowledge-focused OngoingResearchers are testing a muscle biopsy method that uses mild electrical stimulation to sample the junction where nerves meet muscle. The goal is to see if this technique helps distinguish between inclusion body myositis and motor neuron disease, which can look alike. The study i…
