Virtual reality exercise for pain and mobility during ankylosing spondylitis flare
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This trial tests whether using virtual reality (VR) exercise helps manage pain, reduce fear of movement, and improve mobility in people with axial spondyloarthritis during a flare. If you've had a recent flare, you might be able to join.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You have been diagnosed with axial spondyloarthritis (an inflammatory arthritis affecting the spine and pelvis).
- You have had a flare (period of increased disease activity) within the last 6 months.
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have not had major spinal surgery.
- You are not pregnant.
- You do not have severe balance, vision, inner ear, or other conditions that affect movement.
