associated with most other muscle diseases, and is more likely to be due to orthopedic, psychiatric, or rheumato-logical disorders. It is rare for a muscle disease to cause vague aches and muscle discomfort in the presence of a normal neuromuscular examination and laboratory studies.3 A specific type of muscle pain is the involuntary muscle cramp.

in inclusion body myositis there is also a progressive deterioration of the muscle characterized by the accumulation of abnormal proteins that is not seen in polymyositis. Inclusion body myositis is not generally associated with other conditions. It is a progressive disease, as seen by the progressive weakening of the

Treatment for inclusion body myositis
Inclusion body myositis (IBM) is a late-onset inflammatory muscle disease (myopathy) associated with progressive proximal and distal limb muscle atrophy and weakness. Treatment options have attempted to target inflammatory and atrophic features of this condition

“Myositis” describes inflammation or swelling of the muscle tissue. General muscle inflammation can occur after exercising or taking certain med-ication, or it can be from a chronic inflammatory muscle disorder like inclusion-body myositis (IBM). IBM is a slowly progressive muscle dis-ease causing weakness in certain limb muscles.

of myositis. Myositis can affect people of any age. Children who get the disease usually are between five and 15 years of age. Adults usually are between 30 and 60 years old. Like many other autoimmune diseases, most forms of myositis affect more women than men. All forms of myositis involve inflammation that develops within muscle tissues ...

Imaging plays a role in myositis assessment by detecting muscle changes indicative of pathology. This study was conducted to determine the ultrasonographic pattern of muscle involvement in patients with inclusion body myositis (IBM) through an assessment of muscle echointensity. Methods

Myositis (Polymyositis / Dermatomyositis) Myositis is a disease characterized by inflammation of the muscles and is often associated with severe muscle weakness. Myositis can also affect other organ systems including the skin, joints, lungs, heart, and gastrointestinal tract. It is a chronic disease, meaning it lasts a long time.
