Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of heated pool group exercises for patients with inflammatory rheumatic diseases with regard to symptoms (pain, fatigue, stiffness and ability to carry out daily activities).

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The patients receive text messages on mobile phones twice a week for circa 40 weeks. The text messages ask for pain, fatigue, stiffness and ability to carry out everyday activities. The patients should respond with a number from 0 to 10, where 0 is no symptoms/no hindering of activity and 10 is worst symptoms/worst hindering of activity.
