Association of British Neurologists (ABN) autoimmune myasthenia gravis management guidelines (2025 update).
The 2025 update of the Association of British Neurologists guidelines for the management of autoimmune myasthenia gravis (MG) emphasises several points that are distinct from the 2015 guidelines based on recent research and publications. The main differences from the previous guidelines are: (1) The recommendation to prescribe daily steroids rather than the alternate day regimen is now standard practice. (2) There is a clear emphasis on the beneficial effects of early thymectomy. (3) Randomised controlled trial evidence now supports early use of rituximab (within 1 year of generalised disease onset), although the evidence is less robust, but still likely to be useful, in established treatment-refractory MG. (4) Finally, several clinical trials have been published for newer targeted therapies in MG, predominantly those that inhibit the complement and neonatal Fc gamma receptor pathways, the roles of which are being slowly established especially in patients unresponsive to conventional therapy.
期刊介绍:
The essential point of Practical Neurology is that it is practical in the sense of being useful for everyone who sees neurological patients and who wants to keep up to date, and safe, in managing them. In other words this is a journal for jobbing neurologists - which most of us are for at least part of our time - who plough through the tension headaches and funny turns week in and week out. Primary research literature potentially relevant to routine clinical practice is far too much for any neurologist to read, let alone understand, critically appraise and assimilate. Therefore, if research is to influence clinical practice appropriately and quickly it has to be digested and provided to neurologists in an informative and convenient way.
