NCT ID NCT07580092
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This completed study looked at nearly 7,000 adults with inflammatory joint diseases like rheumatoid arthritis and psoriatic arthritis. Researchers compared two versions of a standard health survey (EQ-5D-3L and EQ-5D-5L) to see which one better measures health and quality of life. Participants filled out both surveys during routine clinic visits, and the results will help determine which version is more useful for tracking patient health over time.
