JO - European journal of neurology VL - 32 IS - 11 SN - 1351-5101 CY - Oxford [u.a.] PB - Wiley-Blackwell M1 - DZNE-2025-01223 SP - e70405 PY - 2025 AB - This study aimed to evaluate changes in compound muscle action potential (CMAP) amplitude in adults with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) undergoing nusinersen treatment and its association with motor function improvements.This multicenter study assessed median, ulnar, and peroneal CMAP over a follow-up of up to 4.5 years using linear mixed models. Motor function was measured using the Revised Upper Limb Module (RULM) and the Hammersmith Functional Motor Scale Expanded (HFMSE). Correlations between CMAP and motor function scores were analyzed.Seventy-eight patients (27 ambulatory, 51 non-ambulatory) were included.
