Peripheral neuropathy in ankylosing spondylitis
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study looks at whether people with ankylosing spondylitis (a type of arthritis affecting the spine) also have nerve damage in their hands and feet. It may help doctors understand and treat nerve-related symptoms better.

This study looks at treatments for people with ankylosing spondylitis, a type of arthritis that affects the spine. It aims to find better ways to manage symptoms and improve quality of life.
This study looks at how a gluten-free diet affects people with ankylosing spondylitis (a type of arthritis that mainly affects the spine). You would eat no gluten (found in wheat, barley, and rye) for a period of time to see if it helps reduce symptoms.
This study collects medical data from people with peripheral neuropathy to better understand the condition. It includes simple nerve tests and exams, and does not test any new treatments.
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.
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.
This trial tests a non-invasive device that stimulates a nerve in the ear to reduce pain and inflammation in people with ankylosing spondylitis who have not gotten enough relief from biologics. If you meet the criteria, you might find a new option to manage your symptoms.
