Summary

This study looks at better ways to track disease activity in people with giant cell arteritis, a condition that causes inflammation in blood vessels. Researchers will use ultrasound scans, patient questionnaires, and blood tests to see if they can predict when the disease will flare up. The goal is to help doctors adjust treatment more accurately and reduce side effects from long-term steroid use.
