First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether matrix rhythm therapy, a type of gentle vibration treatment, can improve daily function, quality of life, breathing, and physical performance in people with axial spondyloarthritis, a chronic inflammatory arthritis of the spine. 27 adults with active disease received the therapy. Researchers measured pain, stiffness, flexibility, and lung function to see if the treatment helped.
