Hi Alan (@alanbruce), I think the article is just laying the framework for clinical trials for PMR (IMHO). I don't have a medical background or training and it is sometimes hard for me to really understand some articles like this. I did find another one about a new drug called Tocilizumab being used for PMR that sounds interesting if the side effects are not as bad as prednisone.
