NCT ID NCT05232474
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a tool called KomPas+ that helps therapists and patients with leg pain from blocked arteries (intermittent claudication) make shared decisions about treatment. Over 2,200 participants used the tool to see if it improved walking distance and quality of life. The goal was to see if adding personalized forecasts to standard care leads to better outcomes.
