Clinical trials

This study will be a pragmatic, cluster-randomized, controlled study with two parallel arms ( 'intervention' and 'usual care' (UC) arms) of one year duration. The study will be open-label, but centers randomized in the UC arm will not be aware of the intervention performed in the 'intervention' centers. The primary objective of this study will be to determine whether participation in a standardized global review (that includes assessment of disease domains and education ) as soon as possible after diagnosis of axial spondyloarthritis has a beneficial impact on patient knowledge of the disease at 12 months. The primary endpoint will be the change in the SPAKE (SPondyloArthritis Knowledge Questionnaire) questionnaire between M0 and M12.
