Clinical Trial: Comparison of Cervical Extensor Muscle Thickness, Fat Infiltration, and Cervical Alignment in Patients With Ankylosing Spondylitis With a Healthy Population: a Retrospective Controlled Study

U.S., Aug. 30 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07148167) titled 'Comparison of Cervical Extensor Muscle Thickness, Fat Infiltration, and Cervical Alignment in Patients With Ankylosing Spondylitis With a Healthy Population: a Retrospective Controlled Study' on July 14.

Brief Summary: In the literature, we found only one study evaluating the thickness of the cervical paraspinal muscles (multifidus, semispinalis cervicis, semispinalis capitis, splenius capitis, and trapezius) in patients with AS. This study examined the morphology of all neck extensor muscles (multifidus, semispinalis capitis, semispinalis cervicis, splenius capitis, and trapezius muscles) using ultrasound and their relationship to ...
