NCT ID NCT05345899

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study looks at whether people with chronic inflammatory rheumatism (like spondyloarthritis) or lupus who still have pain despite treatment have low vitamin C levels. Researchers will measure vitamin C in the blood and ask about pain, fatigue, and quality of life. The goal is to understand how common vitamin C deficiency is in this group.
