Description |
Jaw claudication is a specific symptom and positive predictor for patients with suspected giant cell arteritis (GCA). The chewing gum test (CGT) is a method of reproducing and characterising jaw claudication, by asking patients to chew a piece of gum at one chew per second for up to 5 minutes. Abnormal results have been described in two cases of patients with GCA in the literature. |
