Using patient feedback tools to improve care for peripheral artery disease
Official title: Implementation and Effectiveness of Patient Reported Outcome Measures for Peripheral Arterial Disease
Funded at University of Utah · NIH-11051760 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study is looking at how to use feedback from people with peripheral artery disease to make their treatment better and improve communication with doctors, so that patients' experiences and needs are taken into account in their care.

Who could benefit from this research
✓Could help
Ideal candidates for this research are adults diagnosed with peripheral artery disease, particularly those experiencing symptoms.
✕Less likely to help
Patients who do not have peripheral artery disease or are under 21 years old may not benefit from this research.
What this research studies
This research focuses on integrating patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) into the clinical care of individuals with peripheral artery disease (PAD). By collecting and analyzing feedback directly from patients, the study aims to enhance the understanding of treatment effectiveness from the patient's perspective. The research will explore how these tools can be implemented in routine clinical practice, potentially improving communication between patients and healthcare providers. The goal is to ensure that patient voices are heard and considered in treatment decisions.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this research could lead to more personalized and effective treatment plans for patients with peripheral artery disease.
How similar studies have gone: Previous research has shown that integrating patient-reported outcomes in other medical conditions can significantly improve patient care, suggesting a promising avenue for PAD as well.
