Study summary

By this project, the investigators are going to try to demonstrate that to use objects connected to make a physical activity can have an impact on the clinical activity of the disease by bringing the subjects which present a spondyloarthritis to make a physical activity. The investigators shall show furthermore, than the use of connected objects also has better chances to glue the patients presenting a spondyloarthritis to a practice of regular physical activity that a simple recommendation.

Read the detailed description

This project is aimed at subjects with Axial Spondyloarthritis and / or peripheral of the Alpes Maritimes and more specifically of the city of Nice and its surroundings. The subjects will be recruited by the hospital doctors (consultations, hospitalization). Patients will benefit from an inclusion visit in order to explain the protocol, sign the study consent and eliminate a possible contraindication to physical activity. Knowing that this is a physical activity adapted to the health of people and their physical abilities.

Study arms

  • Experimental
    connected object + SMS of physical activity reminders

    The patients will be included during their visit of follow-up and will receive a watch connected. They will have an information meeting for their to explain how step shows it. They will also receive advice to practise an adapted physical activity. During 12 weeks of SMS (text messages) every week to motivate them to realize these exercises. At the end of 12 weeks the connected watch will be deprived of them as well as SMS (text messages). They will have to realize an activity in autonomy during 12 weeks. At the end of the twenty-fourth week, they will get back their watch. They will have in more 1 session with a coach and 2 sessions to be made in autonomy during 12 weeks. In 36 week, they return the watch and finish the study.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Number of pushes brought reported by the patient through a filled auto-questionnaire every week

    This questionnaire containing 3 items: did you present a push of your disease since the last filling of the questionnaire?,not, yes during 1 in 3 in the daytime,yes more than 3 days

    Time frame: After 12 weeks

Secondary outcomes

  1. Moderators of the membership will be estimated thanks to the EMAPS (Scale of Motivation for Physical activity for health purposes) and thanks to the Big five

    the EMAPS questionnaire will allow to quantify by the motivation of the patients to practice a physical activity. this questionnaire is specifically for health purposes.

    Time frame: 12 weeks

  2. The level of commitment in the physical activity will be estimated by the questionnaire GPAQ (Global Physical Activity Questionnaire)

    the qestionnaire GPAQ is a scale to quantify overall physical activity (based on physical activity at work and in the home).

    Time frame: 12 weeks

  3. The function will be estimated by the BASFI (Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Fonctional Index)

    Time frame: 12 weeks

  4. The activity of the disease will be estimated by the BASDAI (Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Index)

    Time frame: 12 weeks

  5. The activity of the disease will be estimated by the BASFI (Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Fonctional Index)

    Time frame: 12 weeks

  6. The activity of the disease will be estimated by the ASQOL (Ankylosing Spondylitis Quality of Life Questionnaire)

    the ASQOL questionnaire is a quality of life scale. this questionnaire is specifically designed for patients with spondyloarthritis.

    Time frame: 12 weeks

  7. The activity of the disease will be estimated by the BASDAI (Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Index)

    Time frame: 24 weeks

  8. The activity of the disease will be estimated by the BASFI (Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Fonctional Index)

    Time frame: 24 weeks

  9. The activity of the disease will be estimated by the ASQOL (Ankylosing Spondylitis Quality of Life Questionnaire)

    the ASQOL questionnaire is a quality of life scale. this questionnaire is specifically designed for patients with spondyloarthritis.

    Time frame: 24 weeks

  10. The activity of the disease will be estimated by the BASDAI (Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Index)

    Time frame: 36 weeks

  11. The activity of the disease will be estimated by the BASFI (Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Fonctional Index)

    Time frame: 36 weeks

  12. The activity of the disease will be estimated by the ASQOL (Ankylosing Spondylitis Quality of Life Questionnaire)

    the ASQOL questionnaire is a quality of life scale. this questionnaire is specifically designed for patients with spondyloarthritis.

Timeline

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Ran from Mar 2018 to primary completion in Mar 2019, 11 months.

Of 44 non-industry interventional studies with no phase under Spondylarthritis, half reached primary completion within 26 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 14 and three quarters within 77. This study's 11 months is below that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 46 studies reached it within 30 months; a quarter within 16 and three quarters within 77.

How these figures are worked out, and which studies are left out of them.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Mar 24, 2026, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
