Polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR) is an inflammatory disease that typically affects elderly people. Its clinical hallmark is the severity of pain in the shoulder and pelvic girdle. Mild to moderate synovitis and/or bursitis of the joints involved has been described. Neuropeptides are involved in nociception and modulation of inflammatory reaction. To evaluate whether neuropeptides have a role in PMR pathophysiology, we studied the expression of substance P (SP), calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP), vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) and somatostatin (SOM) in shoulder synovial tissues of PMR patients.
