A questionnaire to empower fertility patients — a pilot study puts it to the test
NCT ID NCT07725458
First seen Jul 24, 2026 · Last updated Jul 28, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This pilot study tests whether a Patient Empowerment Project (PEP) can improve the experience of people seeking fertility treatment. Patients complete a brief questionnaire about their sensitivities and preferences before their first visit, and clinic staff use the responses to tailor their approach. The study will measure whether this leads to higher patient satisfaction and retention rates.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- a behavioral intervention: a patient empowerment questionnaire and tailored staff training
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this simple questionnaire could help fertility clinics better support patients, improving their experience and reducing dropout.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small pilot study, so results may not apply widely. The questionnaire itself cannot address the underlying causes of infertility or guarantee better outcomes.
