People with ankylosing spondylitis may get better results by taking NSAIDs (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) daily as opposed to an as-needed basis. Results from a two year study, reported in Arthritis & Rheumatism (June 2005), show that ankylosing spondylitis progressed more slowly in patients taking the drugs regularly.
