NCT ID NCT04519580
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study explores whether ultrasound and PET/CT scans can more accurately diagnose and monitor polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR), a condition causing muscle pain and inflammation. Researchers will follow 98 adults over 50 suspected of having PMR, using imaging at key points during treatment. The goal is to reduce reliance on exclusion diagnosis and improve disease tracking.
