Polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR) is the most common inflammatory rheumatic disease among people over 50 and occurs with symptoms such as musculoskeletal pain and stiffness in the neck, shoulders, and hips. To date, corticosteroids represent the cornerstone of PMR treatment. However, it is well known that their prolonged use is associated with several adverse effects, making it crucial to find therapeutic alternatives. The purpose of this case report was to describe the effectiveness of 10 whole-body cryostimulation (WBC) sessions on a 74-year-old woman suffering from PMR. An improvement in disease impact, fatigue, pain, quality of sleep, and total physical activity was observed after WBC. Moreover, the patient reduced her daily drug intake by 67% following WBC treatments. Given the increasing prevalence of PMR and considering the side effects that drug treatments can lead to, WBC could represent a valuable adjuvant and well-tolerated alternative for treating PMR.
风湿性多肌痛（PMR）是50岁以上人群中最常见的炎性风湿性疾病，其症状包括颈部、肩部和臀部的肌肉骨骼疼痛及僵硬。迄今为止，皮质类固醇是PMR治疗的基石。然而，众所周知，长期使用它们会带来多种不良反应，因此寻找治疗替代方案至关重要。本病例报告的目的是描述10次全身冷冻刺激（WBC）治疗对一名74岁PMR女性患者的有效性。WBC治疗后，观察到疾病影响、疲劳、疼痛、睡眠质量和总体身体活动均有改善。此外，该患者在接受WBC治疗后，每日药物摄入量减少了67%。鉴于PMR的患病率不断上升，并考虑到药物治疗可能导致的副作用，WBC可能是治疗PMR的一种有价值且耐受性良好的辅助替代方法。
