Abstract
A double-blind, double-dummy-placebo controlled cross-over trial of indomethacin and fenoprofen for symptomatic relief of ankylosing spondylitis is reported in 19 patients. Both drugs are shown to be effective although indomethacin is more often preferred. Comment is made on patient assessment and response in ankylosing spondylitis and on the double-dummy technique.
