NCT ID NCT04355923
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looked at how the COVID-19 lockdown affected people with spondyloarthritis, a type of arthritis. Researchers surveyed 1,000 patients to see if they stopped their usual treatments during confinement and what psychological factors might have played a role. The goal was to understand treatment habits during a stressful period, not to test a new drug.
