NCT ID NCT07148167

Summary

This study aimed to better understand how ankylosing spondylitis (AS) affects the neck muscles. Researchers used detailed MRI scans to measure the size and fat content of neck muscles in 158 people with AS and compared them to people with general neck pain. The goal was to gather new knowledge about the physical changes AS causes in the spine, which could inform future care.
