Application of peripheral nerve and muscle ultrasound in neuromuscular diseases

Abstract

Peripheral nerve and muscle ultrasound (hereinafter referred to as neuromuscular ultrasound) has been increasingly widely used in neuromuscular diseases, which can not only reflect the morphological characteristics of neuromuscular, but also serve as an important supplement to neurophysiological monitoring and diagnosis and play an increasingly important role in the diagnosis and differential diagnosis of immune ‑ related peripheral neuropathies, hereditary peripheral neuropathies, paraproteinemia‑associated peripheral neuropathies and motor neuron diseases. This article focuses on the application of neuromuscular ultrasound in the field of neuromuscular diseases, with a view to promoting the application of neuromuscular ultrasound in clinical practice.
