It is clinically characterised by pain and stiffness in the neck, proximal shoulder and hip girdle. Glucocorticoids (GCs) are the cornerstone of PMR treatment, but they are associated with potentially severe side effects. Among GC-sparing agents, methotrexate revealed a modest benefit in clinical trials, and recently, there have been promising reports from tocilizumab. In this review, we summarize the available evidence on the treatment of PMR and the possible role in the future of other agents under investigation.}, number={1}, journal={Reumatismo}, author={Camellino, D. and Dejaco, C.}, year={2018}, month={Mar.}, pages={59–66} }
