Hidden nerve damage may worsen life for ankylosing spondylitis patients

This study will check 45 adults with ankylosing spondylitis for peripheral neuropathy (nerve damage in the arms and legs) using nerve conduction tests. Researchers want to see if nerve problems are linked to higher disease activity, increased pain sensitivity, and worse quality of life. The goal is to better understand how often this complication occurs and what factors are associated with it.
