NCT ID NCT02284646

Summary

This study tested whether a personalized physical training program could help people with ankylosing spondylitis, a condition that causes painful stiffness in the spine and joints. 56 participants were randomly assigned to either follow the exercise program or just receive information about physical activity. Researchers measured changes in pain, stiffness, and mobility after 12 and 24 weeks to see if the exercise program made a difference.
