Now experts have revealed the pain and the extreme tiredness which the condition causes can have a major impact on quality of life for people with the condition. Scientist said this suggests new approaches to treating painful condition may be needed. Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) causes back pain, stiffness, fatigue and impaired mobility that develops over time.
There is no cure for AS at the moment. However, a new study has shed light on some of the most prevalent modifiable factors that predict a poor quality of life in people with ankylosing spondylitis.
The University of Aberdeen research has indicated that some of these factors which include pain, fatigue and poor physical function are currently better monitored than others.
The study analysed data from 959 patients involved in Scotland Registry for Ankylosing Spondylitis which collected clinical and patient reported data on ankylosing spondylitis from across #Scotland.

However, given the important role they play in patients quality of life it could be beneficial for these trends to be monitored more closely.

The researchers said."

 These findings provide evidence that in-addition to traditional clinical targets (BASDAI, BASFI and BASMI) focus on non specific symptoms ( chronic widespread pain and fatigue) perhaps with non pharmacological therapies may yield improvements in quality of life."


Dr. Devi Rani Sagar research liaison manager at Arthritis Research United Kingdom said, "

Ankylosing spondyloathritis is an incredibly painful condition which affects two hundred thousand people in the United Kingdom and can dramatically reduce a persons quality of life, making everyday activities such as walking to the shops and standing in the kitchen extremely difficult."

This new study demonstrates the impact that pain and fatigues can have on quality of life for people with this condition and that monitoring these symptoms may help to give indication of the success of treatments.
We welcome more research to find effective ways to reduce pain and fatigue to help make everyday life better for people with arthritis. Woman's arthritis symptoms were cured with miracle device p[previously used on horses.
