NCT ID NCT07387224
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a questionnaire called NECPAL to see if it can spot patients with serious long-term illnesses like cancer, heart failure, or kidney disease who might benefit from palliative care. Researchers will check 200 adults in the hospital or day clinic to see how many are identified as needing extra support. The goal is to help doctors offer comfort-focused care earlier.
