Arterial stiffness and arthritis features study
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
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.
