Symptomatrix = Early recognition

Practice shows that it is not always possible to determine the mutual connection in complaints and consequently to recognise GCA and PMR timely.

Complaints/symptoms are quite often treated individually and for quite some time, for instance as side effects of cold or as aches and pains that may disappear by physiotherapeutical treatment. Typically without results: the complaints persist or return.As a result frequently (too) much time elapses before the diseases are properly diagnosed and adequate treatment is started. Consequently patients quite often have to suffer from unnecessary progression of GCA and/or PMR, with all its consequences and risks.

With the slogan: Earlier Recognised > Earlier Diagnosed = Better Prognosis, the Symptomatrix helps to overcome these problems and to shorten the process of diagnosis significantly.
