This study looked at whether adding methotrexate to adalimumab (a biologic drug) can reduce the body's production of antibodies that might make adalimumab less effective over time. It involved 110 adults with active ankylosing spondylitis who had not responded well to NSAIDs. The…

This study looked at whether kinesiology tape (a special elastic tape placed on the skin) can reduce pain, improve posture, balance, and breathing in people with ankylosing spondylitis, a type of arthritis that mainly affects the spine. 63 adults took part and were split into two…

This study tested whether a structured physical training program can improve symptoms in people with ankylosing spondylitis, a type of arthritis that mainly affects the spine. 56 adults with the condition took part in a randomized controlled trial. The main goal was to see if mor…

This study involved 324 adults with conditions like Crohn's disease, arthritis, or psoriasis who switched from a standard to a higher-concentration adalimumab injection. Researchers measured injection site pain and how well patients stuck with the new treatment over 180 days. The…

This study looked at whether wet cupping therapy can help people with ankylosing spondylitis, a type of arthritis that causes back pain and stiffness. Half of the 100 participants received wet cupping plus their usual medication, while the other half only took medication. The res…

This study looked at whether CT scans are better than regular X-rays for measuring spinal fusion in people with ankylosing spondylitis, a condition that causes the spine to stiffen. Researchers followed 63 adults for up to 4 years, using scans and blood tests to track bone growth…

This study looked at 86 people with rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, or psoriatic arthritis to see if air pollution triggers flare-ups. Participants reported their symptoms weekly for 6 months, while researchers measured their exposure to pollutants based on where th…

This study tested whether a non-invasive ultrasound device can reduce inflammation in people with psoriatic arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, or ankylosing spondylitis. Sixteen participants received four ultrasound sessions, one of which was a sham (placebo). The main goal was to …

This study explored whether erectile dysfunction is linked to nerve pain, disease activity, and daily function in men with axial spondyloarthritis (a type of inflammatory arthritis affecting the spine). Researchers compared 90 men: those on anti-TNF drugs, those on NSAIDs, and he…

This study looked at nearly 7,000 adults with inflammatory joint diseases like rheumatoid arthritis and ankylosing spondylitis. Researchers compared two versions of a health questionnaire (EQ-5D-3L and EQ-5D-5L) to see which one better measures quality of life and disease activit…

This study followed 127 adults with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, or non-radiographic axial spondyloarthritis for 2 years. Researchers collected real-life data on how long patients stayed on secukinumab treatment and how their q…

This study looks at how genes may influence the severity of ankylosing spondylitis, a type of arthritis that affects the spine and can cause stiffness. About 299 adults with the condition will be followed for up to 5 years with physical exams, blood tests, and X-rays. The goal is…
