Background: Moderate doses of glucocorticoids result in improvements in nearly all patients with polymyalgia rheumatica, but related adverse events are common in older individuals.

Methods: We conducted a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group trial at six expert centres in France.
