Diet study for active spine arthritis
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Infections clinical trials.
This study is testing a special liquid diet called Partial Enteral Nutrition (PEN) to see if it can help calm inflammation in people with active axial spondyloarthritis. You would replace some of your regular meals with this diet drink for a period of time.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have a diagnosis of axial spondyloarthritis (a type of inflammatory arthritis of the spine).
- Your disease must be currently active (meaning you have significant pain and stiffness).
- Your treatment must have been stable for at least the last 3 months (no major changes in type or dose).
- You must be 16 years or older.
- You cannot have a history of inflammatory bowel disease, a current eating disorder, or be following a vegan diet.

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.
This trial is for people with ankylosing spondylitis (a type of arthritis that affects the spine) who are otherwise healthy. It may test a treatment to see if it helps control symptoms, whether your disease is active or stable.
This study follows people who were diagnosed with axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) recently to better understand the condition over time. It’s mainly for adults and teens who can consent and can communicate in English.
This study follows people with spondyloarthritis (an inflammatory arthritis that often affects the spine and joints) and their family members over time to better understand how the disease develops and progresses. It also includes a research stool sample test to learn about gut bacteria.
This study tests whether a supervised exercise program can help people with axial spondyloarthritis (a type of inflammatory arthritis affecting the spine) who are already on biologic medications. It aims to see if exercise reduces inflammation and improves symptoms.
This trial tests whether transplanting healthy stool bacteria (fecal microbiota transplantation) can reduce symptoms in people with axial spondyloarthritis (including ankylosing spondylitis) who are not improving enough with standard medicines. If you qualify, you may receive study capsules containing processed bacteria and be closely monitored for safety and symptom changes.
