About this study

Official title: Exercise Capacity in Axial Spondyloarthritis and Factors Affecting it: a Cross-sectional Controlled Study

The investigators aimed to study the associations between exercise capacity and cardiovascular (CV) risk factors in axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) patients and to determine possible relationships with disease-related variables. Thirty eight patients and 38 controls were recruited in our cross-sectional controlled study. Comprehensive systemic and musculoskeletal examinations were carried out in both of the groups. Cardiovascular risk profile data, ASDAS-CRP, 10-year CV event risk, physical activity levels (IPAQ) were recorded. A maximal treadmill exercise test by Bruce protocol was administered to all participants.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Mean difference in exercise capacity of axSpA patients and controls

    maximal METs achieved by a maximal treadmill test by Bruce protocol

    Measured: may- october 2014

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Mean difference in heart rate recovery of axSpA patients and controls

    peak heart rate achieved by maximal exercise minus heart rate at 1st minute of recovery phase

    Measured: may- october 2014

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Exercise Capacity and Axial Spondyloarthritis, run by Muğla Sıtkı Koçman University.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 9 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 13 Jan 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Mean difference in exercise capacity of axSpA patients and controls (time frame: may- october 2014). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 13 Jan 2021.
