What this trial studies

This study aims to evaluate the Modified version of the VascuQol Scale as a biopsychosocial assessment tool for patients with lower extremity peripheral arterial disease. A total of 480 patients will be recruited to complete both the original and modified versions of the scale. The study will assess the reliability, validity, responsiveness, and diagnostic accuracy of the modified scale. Data will be collected through questionnaires, and patient confidentiality will be maintained throughout the process.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates include males and females aged 18-90 diagnosed with lower extremity peripheral arterial disease who can comply with follow-up evaluations.

Not a fit: Patients with other serious diseases affecting quality of life or those currently participating in other investigational studies may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could provide a more effective assessment tool for understanding the impact of peripheral arterial disease on patients' quality of life.

How similar studies have performed: While the original VascuQol Scale has been used, the modified version is a novel approach that has not been extensively tested in prior studies.
