ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying how axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA), a type of inflammatory arthritis that mostly affects the spine, progresses over time. Researchers want to understand changes in patients' symptoms, physical function, and imaging results to get a clearer picture of the disease in real-world situations. The trial is currently recruiting participants who are 18 years or older and have been diagnosed with axSpA based on specific criteria. However, individuals with serious health issues related to the heart, kidneys, blood, or hormonal systems, as well as those with certain mental health conditions or who are pregnant or breastfeeding, will not be eligible to participate.

If you join this study, you can expect to provide information about your health and undergo assessments that track your symptoms and abilities over time. This research aims to improve understanding of axSpA and could ultimately help in developing better treatments. Your participation could play an important role in advancing knowledge about this condition and its impact on people's lives.
