Summary

This study tests whether adding intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg) to standard steroid treatment early in myositis leads to better improvement than steroids alone. Myositis causes muscle inflammation and weakness. The trial includes 44 adults diagnosed within the past year with certain types of myositis. Researchers measure muscle strength and disease activity after 12 weeks to see if the combination therapy works better.
