Patient Report Outcome Measures

Patient-Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs) are tools that capture a patient’s own feedback about their health, symptoms, and quality of life. Unlike clinical tests or doctor’s notes, PROMs reflect the patient’s personal perspective, showing how treatments — such as medical cannabis — affect daily living and wellbeing.

At Curaleaf Clinic, we collect PROMs through the UK Medical Cannabis Registry, helping to build evidence on the outcomes of medical cannabis patients over time.

By collecting this information, clinicians and researchers gain a fuller picture of outcomes, combining medical results with patients lived experiences.

What are the Different Types of Patient-Reported Outcomes?

Patient-reported outcomes can cover a wide range of areas, including:

  • Symptom measures – tracking pain levels, nausea, fatigue, or other specific symptoms.
  • Functional outcomes – understanding how well a patient can manage everyday activities such as work, exercise, or sleep.
  • Health-related quality of life – looking at broader aspects like mood, emotional wellbeing, and social connections.
  • Medication satisfaction – capturing how patients feel about their medication, including its effectiveness, side effects, and practical aspects such as taste, smell, or ease of use.

How are Patient-Reported Outcomes Measured?

PROMs are usually collected through structured questionnaires or digital surveys. These might be:

  • General tools – which measure overall health and wellbeing.
  • Condition-specific tools – designed for certain conditions such as chronic pain, anxiety, or insomnia.

At Curaleaf Clinic, PROMs are an important part of patient care. By gathering this information regularly, clinicians can see how medical cannabis is affecting each person, adjust treatment if needed, and make sure care stays tailored to the individual.
