Same-Day consent for Low-Risk studies may be just as voluntary as earlier consent
NCT ID NCT07380035
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 24, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether patients feel pressured to join a low-risk anesthesia research study if asked on the day of surgery versus several days before. Researchers recruited 114 patients having day surgery and randomly invited them to a fake study either before or on the day of surgery. After surgery, patients filled out questionnaires to measure how voluntary their decision felt. The goal is to understand if same-day consent can be truly voluntary, which could help more patients participate in research.

Active substance

What this could lead to
If it works, this could show that same-day consent for low-risk anesthesia research is just as voluntary as consent given days before, helping more patients have the chance to join studies.
What could go wrong
This was a small, single-center study using a fake trial, so real-world results may differ. The findings may not apply to higher-risk studies or other hospital settings.
