Yuki, N; Watanabe, H; Nakajima, T; Späth, P J (2011). IVIG blocks complement deposition mediated by anti-GM1 antibodies in multifocal motor neuropathy. Journal of neurology, neurosurgery and psychiatry, 82(1), pp. 87-91. London: BMJ Publishing Group 10.1136/jnnp.2010.205856
Full text not available from this repository.The pathogenesis of multifocal motor neuropathy (MMN) has yet to be established.

Intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) is the first line treatment, but its action mechanism is unknown.
