About the surveys
To fully understand the journey and experiences of people living directly or indirectly with NDM, a genuine and person-centered approach to healthcare must be used to better understand the disease.
Your participation in these surveys and/or sharing the links with your relevant contacts will for the first time provide insights into the impact of NDM on those living with the disease and their families.
The surveys aim to uncover the most relevant symptoms related to NDM and the impact of the disease on the quality of life of individuals living with the disease and those close to them.
The survey should take about 20-30 minutes to complete and is fully anonymous. If you chose to share your email address to receive the results at the end of the survey, you will receive a report after an evaluation of the responses is complete. Afterwards your email address will be deleted, unless you “opt-in” and agree to be contacted again by admedicum for future exchanges.
Who can complete the surveys?
A person living with an NDM that is over the age of 18 years
Why participate in the IMPACT Survey?
The impact of NDM on patients’ lives and on those close to them is still not fully understood by many healthcare decision makers and providers.
You can receive compensation for completing the survey.
Your experience matters and can help to improve management of NDM within your country and other European countries.
You can receive the results in the language you used to complete the survey.
Why and how were these surveys created?
admedicum Business for Patients is collaborating with Lupin Neurosciences, a specialty pharma division of Lupin Ltd. to gain insights into the experiences of patients living with non-dystrophic myotonia (NDM).
As is our normal practice, admedicum involved patients and caregivers in the development and design of the survey to ensure a holistic patient centered approach. The survey will neither directly nor indirectly recommend or promote any therapy or product. The results of the survey will be made available to patient groups, physicians and other interested parties.
All survey responses are kept anonymous, and under no circumstances will your completed survey be linked back to you, even if you choose to leave your email address at the end of the survey to receive the aggregated survey results report.
