ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying a new way to help identify people who may have a condition called myasthenia gravis (MG), which affects the nerves and muscles. The researchers are using a social media campaign to reach adults in the U.S. who have unexplained muscle weakness or other symptoms that could suggest MG. Participants will complete a self-assessment tool online to see if their symptoms match those of MG. The goal is to encourage those who may have undiagnosed MG to seek medical evaluation and receive appropriate care.

To be eligible for this trial, participants need to be at least 18 years old (or older, depending on their state) and live in one of the 50 states in the U.S. They should also have an active email account and be able to read and understand English. However, people who have already been diagnosed with MG or certain other conditions, like multiple sclerosis, cannot participate. This study is fully remote, so participants can take part from the comfort of their own home, making it easier for those who might find it challenging to visit a clinic in person.
