Digital Phenotyping and Lifestyle Intervention in Patients With Myasthenia Gravis (DIG‐MG): A Randomized Controlled Trial of Feasibility, Adherence, and Effects on Fatigue

Muscle &Nerve, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction/Aims Physical activity and sleep influence fatigue in myasthenia gravis (MG), and digital health technologies (DHT) enable objective monitoring of these behaviors in daily life. Using this approach, we evaluated whether a lifestyle intervention targeting physical activity or sleep hygiene could reduce fatigue in MG.
