First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 15, 2026 · Updated 25 times
Summary
This study explores whether ultrasound and PET/CT scans can 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 the start, after 8 weeks of steroid treatment, and after a short steroid break. The goal is to find better ways to diagnose PMR and reduce reliance on steroids, which have side effects.
