Polymyalgia Rheumatica Trial Recruitment

Older patients, steroid tapers, and a symptom picture that overlaps with several other conditions — screening has to be careful here.

Polymyalgia rheumatica candidates are typically over 50, often already on prednisone, and frequently confused with rheumatoid arthritis or general age-related stiffness in their own description of symptoms.

We reach that age group where they actually are, ask precise questions about steroid dose and taper stage, and pass along a record your coordinator can act on.
