NCT ID NCT05636501
First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated Jun 18, 2026 · Updated 32 times
Summary
This study tests whether a nurse-led, step-by-step plan to slowly reduce prednisolone (a steroid) helps people with polymyalgia rheumatica stop the drug safely and stay in remission. About 120 newly diagnosed patients will either follow this structured taper or receive usual care from their general practitioner. The goal is to see if the structured approach leads to more patients being off steroids and symptom-free after one year.
