Major study tests best ways to ease suffering for seriously ill hospital patients

NCT ID NCT07224594

Summary

This large study aims to find the best way to provide palliative care—specialized medical care focused on relieving suffering and improving quality of life—for seriously ill hospital patients. Researchers will compare three approaches across 48 hospitals: standard care, training regular doctors in palliative care basics, or bringing in palliative care specialists. The study will enroll over 78,000 patients with serious illnesses to see which approach best helps patients spend more time at home, improves their quality of life, and ensures their care matches their wishes.
