Brief Summary

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

This observational, cross-sectional study aims to characterize patients with axial spondyloarthritis (AxSpA) from a biopsychosocial perspective. The study examines the relationships between psychosocial factors (such as pain catastrophizing, kinesiophobia, and fear-avoidance beliefs) and clinical indicators of disease progression, including functional limitations and disease activity. The primary objective is to identify psychosocial predictors of functionality and disease activity in AxSpA patients, which may guide more personalized therapeutic interventions. Findings could provide insights into the combined effects of physical and psychological aspects on disease management, promoting a holistic approach to AxSpA care.
