New study aims to decode back pain in ankylosing spondylitis patients

This study looks at different types of low back pain in people with ankylosing spondylitis, a type of arthritis that mainly affects the spine. Researchers want to see how these pain types relate to daily function and quality of life. The study will involve 200 adults with ankylosing spondylitis who have had low back pain for at least three months. Participants will fill out questionnaires during one visit to help doctors better understand and manage pain in this condition.
