Nerve Damage Study in Ankylosing Spondylitis Patients
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study examines whether people with ankylosing spondylitis (a condition causing spine inflammation and stiffness) develop nerve damage in their arms and legs. Understanding this connection may help doctors better care for patients with this condition.

This trial is for people with ankylosing spondylitis (a type of arthritis that affects the spine) who are otherwise healthy. It may test a treatment to see if it helps control symptoms, whether your disease is active or stable.
This study uses ultrasound to look at neck muscles and balance in men with ankylosing spondylitis. It may help understand how the condition affects the neck and stability.
This trial tests a new acupuncture-based procedure called acupotomy to help people with ankylosing spondylitis (a condition that causes spine stiffness and pain). The study aims to see if this improved technique reduces pain and improves mobility.
This study looks at how diabetes affects nerves, including those that control automatic functions like sweating and heart rate. Researchers will use ultrasound and electrical tests to check for nerve damage in people with diabetes, and compare results to healthy volunteers.
This trial checks how the medication baricitinib affects nerves in people with rheumatoid arthritis. It uses a nerve test to see if the drug causes nerve problems.
This study looks at genetic differences in people being checked for a common type of nerve problem called distal symmetric polyneuropathy (nerve damage that usually affects the hands and feet). By understanding genetics, researchers hope to learn more about why neuropathic (nerve) pain happens and how it may differ between people.
