Ultrasound study of inflammation in spine and joint areas
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study uses ultrasound to look at inflammation where tendons and ligaments attach to bones in people with a type of arthritis called spondyloarthritis. It aims to understand these changes better, especially in those who also have fibromyalgia.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study uses ultrasound imaging to evaluate knee osteoarthritis in people over 30 with painful knees. It aims to better understand how the condition appears on imaging.
This study uses a special ultrasound technique to detect inflammation in the tendons (enthesitis) of people with psoriatic arthritis. It also looks at a protein called SIRT2 to see if it relates to disease activity.
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 enrolls people who have recently been diagnosed with certain inflammatory conditions affecting the spine, joints, or the eye. Researchers are looking to better understand how these illnesses start and how they may be linked, which could help guide future care.
This trial studies an advanced “sensor-based” way to assess how your spine and hips move in people with axial spondyloarthritis. It may help researchers better measure function and choose/monitor treatment, especially for those considered for biologic therapy.
This study examines joint tissue from people with different types of arthritis to understand the disease better. It may help researchers develop better treatments in the future.
