NCT ID NCT07207525
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study uses a short questionnaire to learn where patients with pulmonary hypertension and their caregivers search for health information, what topics they look for, how satisfied they are, and which sources they trust most. Researchers will enroll 100 adults in Brazil. The goal is to improve communication and support for those affected by this serious lung condition.
