Survey aims to uncover hidden struggles of rare artery disease
NCT ID NCT07351422
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study uses two online questionnaires to learn about the experiences of people with Takayasu arteritis and how doctors manage the condition. About 50 patients and an unspecified number of physicians in the UK will share their views on symptoms, treatment priorities, and unmet needs. The goal is to improve understanding and care for this rare inflammatory artery disease.
