Posture training and exercise for back pain in axial spondyloarthritis
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study tests whether a posture feedback device plus exercise can reduce back pain and improve movement in people with axial spondyloarthritis. It may help you feel better and move more easily.

This study aims to confirm new classification criteria for axial spondyloarthritis, a type of inflammatory arthritis affecting the spine and sacroiliac joints. Participants with chronic back pain lasting at least 3 months and starting before age 45 will undergo a series of tests to see if these new criteria better identify the condition.
This trial tests whether a supervised exercise program can improve symptoms and reduce disease activity in people with axial spondyloarthritis. It also checks if exercise affects irisin, a protein linked to metabolism and inflammation.
This study tests a personalized exercise program to see if it reduces back pain, improves posture (kyphosis angle), and boosts quality of life. It may help if you have nonspecific back pain and haven't been exercising regularly.
This trial tests if wearing a back brace combined with exercise helps people with a specific type of low back problem called spondylolisthesis (where a spine bone slips forward). It may reduce pain and improve function.
This study tests whether wearing a Fitbit activity tracker and using a Google Health app can help people with axial spondyloarthritis (a type of spine arthritis) become more physically active. The goal is to see if this technology-based approach motivates people to exercise more, which may help reduce pain and improve their condition.
This study tests whether a supervised exercise program can help people with axial spondyloarthritis (a type of inflammatory arthritis affecting the spine) who are already on biologic medications. It aims to see if exercise reduces inflammation and improves symptoms.
