Marfan syndrome in kids: new study looks beyond the physical symptoms
NCT ID NCT05748314
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jul 02, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study observes 80 children with Marfan syndrome to understand how the condition impacts their quality of life, self-image, and ability to manage their health. Participants fill out questionnaires about their well-being and medication habits. The goal is to identify who might benefit from psychological support, not to test a new treatment.
