Research Background: According to the Myasthenia Gravis Foundation of America (MGFA, 2015), the estimated prevalence of myasthenia gravis is 14-20 per 100,000 people, with a higher prevalence in young female individuals compared to males. However, as individuals age, especially after the age of 50, the prevalence in males becomes higher than in females. myasthenia gravis patients often experience varying degrees of disability, leading to the need for long-term medical care, medication, and lifestyle adjustments. This also gives rise to subsequent challenges in caregiving, affecting both the patients' families and society.
:This study aims to assess the effectiveness of using a combination of traditional Chinese and Western medicine,to improve the meridian energy and autonomic nervous system function of myasthenia gravis patients.

RECRUITINGmeridian energy
After taking Buzhong Yiqi Decoction, the energy of the meridians can be balanced. Use a meridian measuring instrument to measure the meridians of the whole body and improve the energy of the meridians to the range of 40-60.
Time frame: 12 weeks
autonomic nervous system function
After taking Buzhong Yiqi Decoction, it can change the autonomic nervous system (ANS), reduce the sympathetic nerve energy, increase the parasympathetic nerve energy, and set the standard value of the autonomic nervous system activity between 40-60
