NCT ID NCT03999489
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study evaluates the SF-6D, a questionnaire that measures health-related quality of life, in people with early inflammatory back pain (symptoms for 3 months to 3 years). Researchers will check if the tool is reliable, sensitive to changes over time, and how factors like age, social background, and other health issues affect the scores. The goal is to see if this questionnaire can accurately capture the burden of the disease and help guide future treatment decisions.
