Dr. Goodman discussed recent advancements in axSpA treatment; data related to axSpA presented at the 2019 ACR annual meeting; the importance of helping primary care physicians distinguish inflammatory versus noninflammatory back pain; comorbid conditions that play a role in axSpA (i.e., obesity and depression); and unmet needs in axSpA management.
