Summary: The aim of this observational study is to assess shoulder joint involvement in patients with axial spondyloarthritis using ultrasound and to compare the findings with those of healthy controls.

Summary: This study will establish whether prolonged chronic dosing with secukinumab is needed in participants with Non-radiographic axial spondyloarthritis, (nr-axSpA) who have achieved remission. Remission is defined as Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Score - C-reactive protein (ASDAS-CRP) Inactive Disease (ID) response (ASDAS-CRP \< 1.3). Maintenance of remission on continued secukinumab treatme...

Summary: Axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) is an immune-mediated inflammatory disease primarily affecting the axial skeleton. The most frequent axSpA symptom is chronic, often inflammatory back pain that might be difficult to distinguish from other causes of chronic back pain. Many participants report persistent pain, including back pain, which impacts disease activity and and impairs quality of life while e...

Summary: This is a phase IV, multicentre, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study designed to compare the efficacy and safety of tofacitinib versus placebo (on a background of an NSAID) over 16 weeks of treatment and 4 weeks of safety follow-up in subjects with early active axSpA and inadequate response to at least one NSAID, with objective signs of inflammation.

Summary: Axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) is a chronic inflammatory rheumatic musculoskeletal disease affecting the axial skeleton. The most prominent symptom in patients with axial spondyloarthritis is morning stiffness and chronic low back pain. This is a chronic inflammatory disease group in which exercise and physiotherapy programs are recommended along with medical treatment. Considering the mechanism ...

Summary: The goal of this randomised controlled trial study is to investigate whether exercise (brisk walking, equal to 13 on a rating of perceived exertion scale; somewhat hard) can be used as an adjuvant therapy for people living with axial spondyloarthritis and taking biologic medications to further improve their quality of life and lower their symptoms and disease burden. The main questions it aims to ...

Summary: Fiber is the main source of energy for colonic bacteria and its consumption favorably modifies the composition of the microbiota in only a few days. Their fermentation in the colon releases short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs). Clostridiales contain many strains producing SCFAs. These SCFAs can restore the intestinal barrier and promote certain anti-inflammatory cells, including regulatory T cells (Tre...

Summary: A few studies have evaluated the effectiveness of yoga therapy in patients with axial spondyloarthritis (axSPA). On the other hand, studies conducted in other chronic rheumatisms such as low back pain, rheumatoid arthritis or other conditions such as cancer have shown that yogatherapy can have a effective action on the physical and psychological level. Yogatherapy is a non-drug body-mind approach ...

Summary: The goal of this observational study is to develop and validate an Artificial Intelligence (AI) tool that allows the lesion detection and early diagnosis of axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) based on Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). This study will gather MRI scans from axSpA patients and a control group of participants.

Summary: Axial spondyloarthritis is a chronic inflammatory disease affecting the spine, sacroiliac joints, entheses, and sometimes peripheral joints with a close link to HLAB27. Typical features include inflammatory back pain, limited spinal mobility, and sacroiliitis. The term axial spondyloarthritis (AxSpA) includes both Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS) where sacroiliitis is diagnosed by X-rays, and non-radio...

Summary: This is an observational study using Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) sensors to measure the effects of biological therapy on spinal mobility and function in axial spondyloarthritis. Participants will undergo MRI scans before and after therapy in parallel to the sensor tests to establish correlation between changes in inflammatory signs and changes in spinal mobility.

Summary: Spondyloarthritis (SpA) refers to a group of rheumatic diseases that share common clinical, genetic and imaging features. They are divided into two: axial (axSpA) and peripheral. In addition to the pain caused by sacroiliitis and spondylitis, which are the main complaints, patients often experience joint stiffness, fatigue, mood disturbances and various degrees of functional limitations, and the q...
