NIH hunts clues in 2,000 patients to predict severe arthritis

NCT ID NCT01422694

Summary

This study aims to understand why some people with spondyloarthritis (a type of inflammatory arthritis causing back and joint pain) develop more severe disease, while others do not. Researchers will observe up to 2,000 patients and some of their healthy relatives over time, using exams, questionnaires, blood tests, and imaging scans. The goal is to identify early signs and risk factors that predict which patients might progress to more damaging forms of the disease, to guide future care.
