Overview
Clinical practice guidelines direct treatment[1]:
03. "Treatment with colchicine should start as soon as a clinical diagnosis is made"
17. "In protracted febrile myalgia, glucocorticoids lead to the resolution of symptoms; NSAID and IL-1-blockade might also be a treatment option; NSAIDs are suggested for the treatment of exertional leg pain"
IL-1-blockade with anakinra
A systematic review of IL-1 blockade with anakinra, canakinumab, and rilonacept found only one randomized controlled trial.[2]
- anakinra: benefit in one small, randomized controlled trial in which the median number of attacks per month dropped from 3.5 with placebo to 1.7 with anakinra.[3] This trial was published and registered (NCT01705756).
- canakinumab: no randomized controlled trials.
- rilonacept: benefit in one small, randomized controlled trial in which the median number of attacks per month dropped from 2 with placebo to 0.77 with rilonacept.[4] This trial was published and registered (NCT00582907).
