• Research summary

  The MG-QOL15 is a validated 15-item questionnaire applied to assess patients with myasthenia gravis. In this study we are investigating whether we can improve the questionnaire further by using a 3 severity score (not at all, somewhat, very much) or a 4 severity score (not at all, a little bit, somewhat, very much) versus the current 5 severity score (not at all, a little bit, somewhat, quite a bit, very much). We are hoping to recruit around 20 patients (and a maximum of 40 patients ) in Glasgow and 100 patients in total, this being a collaborative study lead by the University of Virginia with other centres based in the USA and Japan.
