Diagnostic Study of Temporal Arteritis

NCT01130857 · Status: UNKNOWN · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 100

Last updated 2010-05-26

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Despite a large and growing body of knowledge concerning the diagnosis of temporal arteritis, this potentially crippling disease still requires pathological diagnosis in practically every case. It seems likely that a correctly estimated clinical probability could help in evaluating imaging results in a way that might safely obviate temporal biopsy in a large segment of suspect cases.

With this aim in view, we intend to identify useful clinical items and integrate them in an appropriate diagnostic pathway.
