Mediterranean diet for spinal arthritis on biologic therapy
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study looks at whether following a Mediterranean diet (rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and healthy fats) can help reduce disease activity in people with ankylosing spondylitis who are already on biologic therapy. If you join, you may learn how diet changes could complement your current treatment.
