NCT ID NCT07758946
First seen Aug 11, 2026 · Last updated Aug 12, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether a digital serious game, Endoexpedition, can improve how people with endometriosis receive information about their condition and treatment options. Participants will be randomly assigned to either play the game or read standard written materials. The trial will measure satisfaction, knowledge gained, and engagement over up to a year, aiming to see if interactive learning beats traditional pamphlets.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- A digital serious game called Endoexpedition designed to educate patients about endometriosis and its treatment options through interactive storytelling and quizzes.
- What this could lead to
- If effective, this game could become a new standard for patient education, helping people with endometriosis feel more informed and involved in their care decisions.
- What could go wrong
- The trial is relatively small and measures satisfaction and knowledge, not direct health outcomes. The game may not suit everyone, and its benefits over written information could be modest.
