[Invitation] Hong Kong NMD Patient Registry

Background:

Neuromuscular Disorders (NMDs) is a collection of diseases that affect one of the neuromuscular units. Currently, there has been no effective long-term therapy for most types of NMDs. Therefore, medical research is very important for NMD patients. Since June 2019, Hong Kong Neuromuscular Disorders patient registry (HKNMDPR) is established which collects clinical information about the patients to build a centralized database. The purpose of the registry is to facilitate the team's search for eligible patients for clinical trials and help us better understand the conditions and characteristics of different NMDs.
