Neuromuscular Disease
The Neuromuscular Program is devoted to the diagnosis and treatment of nerve and muscle diseases. Adult patients are seen in the Stanford Neuromuscular Clinic and the Electromyography Laboratory. In addition, Stanford partners with the national Muscular Dystrophy Association to provide multidisciplinary care to adults and children with muscular dystrophy, myasthenia gravis, spinal muscular atrophy, polymyositis and ALS. The MDA Clinic brings experts in pulmonary medicine, physical and occupational therapy, social work and augmentative communication to work closely with our neuromuscular specialists. The Neuromuscular Disease Program also conducts clinical trials to test new and novel therapies of a wide range of neuromuscular disorders.
