NCT ID NCT07529691
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study is a large national survey of 2,000 people with fibromuscular dysplasia (FMD), a rare artery disease that can cause strokes or heart attacks. Researchers want to understand what physical activity restrictions doctors recommend and how those restrictions affect patients' quality of life and emotional well-being. The goal is to gather information that could lead to better, more consistent activity guidelines for FMD patients.

- If successful, this survey could provide the first evidence to guide safe physical activity recommendations for people with FMD, potentially improving their quality of life.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational survey, not a treatment trial. It will gather opinions and self-reported data, which may not reflect objective medical outcomes or lead directly to new guidelines.
