Local cooling may improve responses in myasthenic muscles; leaves open whether temperature standardization is needed in diagnostic testing.
Does local cooling improve electrophysiological responses in weak myasthenic muscles?
Local cooling improves neuromuscular transmission in myasthenia, indicating that muscle temperature must be controlled during diagnostic repetitive stimulation to prevent false-negative results.
