Course overview
Polymyalgia Rheumatica (PMR) is an inflammatory condition causing pain and stiffness in the shoulders, neck, and hips, primarily affecting individuals over 50. This course equips healthcare professionals with knowledge about PMR’s symptoms, diagnostic criteria, treatment strategies—including corticosteroid therapy—and its association with giant cell arteritis. Participants will gain insights into monitoring and managing long-term complications to optimise patient outcomes.
