NCT ID NCT07639437
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether showing patients a short educational video before a bronchoscopy under general anesthesia could reduce their anxiety more than standard verbal instructions. Fifty-eight adults scheduled for the procedure were randomly assigned to watch the video or receive only verbal education. Their anxiety levels were measured before and right after the education session using a standard questionnaire.

What this could lead to
If it works, this could give hospitals a simple, low-cost way to help patients feel less anxious before a bronchoscopy.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed trial with only 58 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The effect on anxiety may be small or not meaningful in practice.
