Regular exercise, such as brisk walking, has been shown to lower levels of indicators of inflammation in the blood in people with long term conditions. This includes people with heart disease, kidney disease and diabetes. Axial Spondyloarthritis (axSpA) is an inflammatory condition with prescribed medication focusing on reducing inflammation. However, the effect of exercise on indicators of inflammation in axSpA is unknown. The research study intends to investigate whether a 12-week period of regular exercise can have favourable effects on inflammatory markers in the blood.
Preliminary report have demonstrated that methotrexate induces an anti bio-medicament tolerization whan administrated just before the first administration of the bio-medicament.

The study included 55 patients having Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS) for at least 1 year diagnosed according to the ASAS classification criteria who presented to our hospital's outpatient clinic and 55 healthy subjects. Demographic data were recorded for 55 AS patients who were subsequently assessed using the BASMI (Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Metrology Index) in terms of elasticity and spinal mobility as well as the BASFI (Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Functional Index) to determine functional status, the BASDAI (Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Index) to assess the disease activity and the ASQoL (Ankylosing Spondylitis Quality of Life Questionnaire) to evaluate quality of life. The Toronto Alexithymia Scale-20 (TAS-20) was used for assessment of alexithymia and Beck's Depression Inventory (BDI) for depression among patients.

The patients in the education booklet group were given an education booklet on disease information, antiTNF drug administration and management. In the study, patients were evaluated once before anti-TNF drug treatment and every 6 weeks during 6 months (4 times) after treatment. The data of the study were collected by means of an individual identification form, BASDAI, BASFI, ASQoL and Subcutaneous Anti-TNF Treatment Adherence Questionnaire.
