Summary
This completed study examined the link between erectile dysfunction, nerve pain, disease activity, and daily function in 90 men with axial spondyloarthritis (a type of arthritis affecting the spine). Participants were either on anti-TNF drugs, NSAIDs, or were healthy volunteers. Researchers used questionnaires to measure sexual function and pain, aiming to see if these factors are connected.
