Minimal Clinically Important Difference. The smallest amount of change to a pateint's health condition that would actually be meaningful to them.

If you were the patient with wrist pain, this would be the smallest amount you could improve on a test for the wrist conducted by your rock star physical therapist which would correspond with a change you would notice in your life.
"I overheard my physical therapist say I met the MCID when he tested my wrist again. All I know is that I have a little less pain playing World of Warcraft for twelve hours."
