Summary

This study investigates how people with axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) experience sudden worsening of symptoms, known as flares. Over 12 months, 40 participants use a digital diary to track symptoms, diet, lifestyle, and self-management strategies, and provide blood samples during and between flares. The goal is to map different flare patterns and develop a patient-led digital pathway for earlier and more effective flare management.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

What this could lead to
If successful, this could lead to a digital tool that helps people with axSpA recognize and manage flares earlier, reducing their impact on daily life.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study with only 40 participants, so findings may not apply to everyone with axSpA. The pathway will need further testing before it can be widely used.
