First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 18, 2026 · Updated 29 times
Summary
This study tests whether a low-dose hormone called hydrocortisone can relieve symptoms like fatigue and dizziness in people who have recently stopped taking steroids for giant cell arteritis or polymyalgia rheumatica. About 100 adults aged 50 and older will receive either hydrocortisone or a placebo for 16 weeks. The goal is to see if this treatment improves quality of life during the recovery period.
