A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This prospective, hospital-based study will enroll 200 adults with ankylosing spondylitis and chronic low back pain of at least three months, recruited consecutively from the Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation outpatient clinics at Konya Beyhekim Training and Research Hospital. Each participant will complete a standardized, single-session evaluation including questionnaires for pain intensity (VAS), pain catastrophizing (PCS), functional status (RMDQ), disease activity and function (BASDAI, BASFI), and quality of life (ASQoL). Sociodemographic and clinical data will be collected by structured interview, and pain mechanisms will be classified into three categories using validated tools. The analysis will examine how pain phenotypes and their cognitive-emotional components relate to functional status and quality of life.
