In a substantial portion of patients with axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA), disease activity scores remain high despite anti-inflammatory treatment. This is possibly due to factors beyond active inflammation including different pain mechanisms and psychosocial factors. Therefore, our aim was to build a biopsychosocial model to explore the interrelationships of Axial Spondyloarthritis Disease Activity Score (ASDAS) with central sensitization (CS), psychological and lifestyle factors in patients with axSpA.
