Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 30 Dec 2025

Brief summary (registry, in English)

Axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) is a chronic inflammatory rheumatic musculoskeletal disease affecting the axial skeleton. The most prominent symptom in patients with axial spondyloarthritis is morning stiffness and chronic low back pain. This is a chronic inflammatory disease group in which exercise and physiotherapy programs are recommended along with medical treatment. Considering the mechanism of action of matrix rhythm therapy, it was predicted that axial spondyloarthritis patients may show improvement.
