How much change in a Parkinson's quality-of-life test matters
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study looks at a short questionnaire (Parkinson's Disease Questionnaire-8) that measures how Parkinson's affects your daily life. The goal is to find out the smallest change in the questionnaire that really matters to patients.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
