Ankylosing Spondylitis Research

Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS) is a type of arthritis primarily affecting the spine, causing inflammation, pain, and stiffness. Research in this area focuses on understanding the disease's causes, developing effective treatments, and improving patients' quality of life. Researchers study genetics, immune responses, and the effectiveness of medications such as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and biologics. They also explore lifestyle factors and rehabilitation strategies. The goal is to provide better management options and enhance the understanding of AS to help those affected live healthier and more active lives.
