Posture exercises with a wearable device for axial spondyloarthritis
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study tests whether doing posture exercises with a wearable device that gives feedback can help reduce pain and improve movement in people with axial spondyloarthritis. It may be an option for those who are interested in adding a structured exercise program to their routine.

This study uses a smartwatch to track your movement and give you exercise advice. It aims to help people with axial spondyloarthritis stay active and manage their condition.
This trial tests whether a specific exercise program can improve symptoms and increase irisin (a protein linked to metabolism and inflammation) in people with active axial spondyloarthritis (a type of inflammatory arthritis affecting the spine and joints). It may help you if you have moderate-to-severe disease and have not been very active recently.
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 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 if a digital exercise program can improve sleep and physical activity in people with axial spondyloarthritis. If you are not very active and have stable treatment, you might be able to join and use a smartphone or tablet to follow the program from home.
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.
