Salt intake and arthritis study
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Skin clinical trials.
This study tests whether the amount of salt you eat affects inflammation and symptoms in people with certain types of arthritis (ankylosing spondylitis or psoriatic arthritis). You will be asked to follow a specific sodium diet and have some checkups to see how your arthritis responds.

This trial tests whether plant-based compounds similar to cannabis (called phytocannabinoids) can help calm inflammation and improve immune function in people with certain types of arthritis or autoimmune diseases like lupus or Sjögren's disease. It aims to offer a new way to treat these conditions without the 'high' of marijuana.
This study follows patients with inflammatory arthritis (rheumatoid arthritis or spondyloarthritis) to learn more about how well biologic or targeted therapies work. If you have tried standard treatments without enough relief, this may help researchers improve future care.
This study explores how eating ultra-processed foods affects people with chronic rheumatic diseases like rheumatoid arthritis, spondyloarthritis, or osteoarthritis. It aims to understand if diet plays a role in symptom management.
This study looks at how a body signal called IL-23 may drive inflammation in spondyloarthritis (including joints) using samples from your care. It may help researchers identify which body cells and targets are involved, and how treatments could work better for active disease.
This study looks at whether following a Mediterranean diet (rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and healthy fats) can help reduce disease activity in people with ankylosing spondylitis who are already on biologic therapy. If you join, you may learn how diet changes could complement your current treatment.
This study looks at how a gluten-free diet affects people with ankylosing spondylitis (a type of arthritis that mainly affects the spine). You would eat no gluten (found in wheat, barley, and rye) for a period of time to see if it helps reduce symptoms.
