This study looks at how stiff your blood vessels (arteries) are and how that relates to arthritis symptoms in people with ankylosing spondylitis. It involves simple tests to measure blood vessel health along with your regular arthritis care.
This trial tests whether a specific exercise program can improve symptoms and increase irisin (a protein linked to metabolism and inflammation) in people with active axial spondyloarthritis (a type of inflammatory arthritis affecting the spine and joints). It may help you if you have moderate-to-severe disease and have not been very active recently.
This trial tests whether combining deep breathing with core stability exercises helps people with ankylosing spondylitis. It may improve symptoms and quality of life.
This study tests whether combining traditional Chinese medicine with standard Western treatments can help ankylosing spondylitis (a condition causing spine stiffness and inflammation) work better and improve your quality of life. Researchers will follow patients over time to see how well this combined approach works.
This study tests if combining traditional Chinese medicine with standard Western medicine can better treat ankylosing spondylitis. The goal is to see if this approach can reduce inflammation and improve your symptoms, such as back pain and stiffness.
This study follows patients with spondyloarthritis over time to better understand the condition. It collects information from hospital visits and may help improve care for people with this type of arthritis.
