This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing whether a procedure called an erector spinae plane block can help reduce back pain in people with ankylosing spondylitis. The erector spinae plane block is an injection of numbing medication and steroid into a specific area of the back, guided by ultrasound to target the nerves causing pain. Researchers want to see if this treatment can provide relief for people who still have persistent back pain even when their disease is otherwise well-controlled with their regular medications.
Many people with ankylosing spondylitis continue to experience stubborn back pain even when their disease activity is successfully controlled with standard treatments. This trial exists because doctors need better options to help these patients manage their remaining pain and improve their quality of life.

You would receive one erector spinae plane block injection, which is performed under ultrasound guidance by a physician. You would then return for follow-up visits at 2 weeks and 2 months after the procedure to have your pain, disease activity, and spinal function assessed. The study involves measurements of your pain severity, ability to function, and spinal mobility at these three time points.
