Official Title: Is Low-frequency Repetitive Nerve Stimulation a Reliable Test to Evaluate the Neuromuscular Junction in Myotonic Dystrophy Type 1
Brief Summary:
The study design is a prospective cohort study. It aims to evaluate the neuromuscular junction in dystrophic myotonia 1 (DM 1) using low-frequency repetitive nerve stimulation (RNS) on several nerve-muscle pairs of the one side including proximal and distal muscles of upper and lower extremities. First, it will be investigated whether a decrement with 3 Hz stimulation, as described in literature, is reproducible in our patient population. If this is the case, it will be examined whether it is the consequence of a…
