- Abstract:
- Polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR) is the most common inflammatory rheumatic disease in persons over the age of 50 years. There are many diseases which mimic PMR, for which reason a careful diagnostic approach is required. While it is thought to be exquisitely responsive to glucocorticosteroid therapy, many patients respond incompletely and/or develop serious side effects over the protracted disease course. Improved methods for classification and disease assessment together with standardized treatment approaches and outcome assessments can serve to improve the care of patients with this disease.
