Smartphone study reveals hidden toll of hereditary angioedema
NCT ID NCT07448181
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study uses smartphone surveys to track the real-life burden of hereditary angioedema (HAE) in 30 adults. Participants answer quick questions about their symptoms, mood, and daily activities every other day for 8 weeks. The goal is to capture day-to-day changes that standard questionnaires might miss, giving a clearer picture of how HAE truly affects people's lives.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this study could reveal a more accurate picture of how hereditary angioedema affects daily life, potentially guiding better support and care strategies.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, observational study with only 30 participants, so findings may not apply to everyone. It does not test any treatment, so it cannot directly improve symptoms.

Who is studied
The study involves the participation of adult patients with a confirmed diagnosis of hereditary angioedema, belonging to the ITACA (Italian Network for Hereditary and Acquired Angioedema) national cohort and receiving follow-up care at the IRCCS Maugeri Milano (Via Camaldoli) center. Participation in the study is voluntary and subject to the signing of informed consent. Patients will complete the questionnaires independently via their own smartphones, with no requirement for in-person visits.
