Abstract

sleep disorders, closely related to any chronic pain process, are frequent among patients with rheumatic diseases, mainly ankylosing spondylitis (AS). Our study aimed to determine the association between sleep disturbances and the inflammatory process in pain in AS patients compared with lower back pain (LBP) patients. We have additionally examined factors associated with sleep disorders among AS patients.
