Bone and muscle health in axial spondyloarthritis
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at bone and muscle health in people with axial spondyloarthritis. It compares their bone density and muscle strength to healthy volunteers to see if there is a link with a condition called osteosarcopenia.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
