Muscle Weakness or Swallowing Problems?
Dr. Trauner has been studying the neurologic consequences of cystinosis for several years. She and her collegues are interested in the problems with muscle weakness and swallowing that some adults with cysitnosis ar experiencing.In particular, they are very interested in learning more about the cause of the late onset muscle weakness and swallowing problems. In order to do this, Dr. Trauner and her colleagues would like to perform neurological examinations, electromyograms, and nerve conduction velocity studies on individuals who are experiencing one or both of these problems. If you are interested, or know someone who might be interested, in participating in the testing to find out more about muscle weakness and swallowign problems, please contact Dr. Trauner's research group at (619)587-4020.
