Virtual group counseling may boost surgery satisfaction
NCT ID NCT07471464
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Aug 04, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tests whether virtual group counseling sessions help patients feel more prepared and satisfied before pelvic organ prolapse surgery, compared to standard individual phone calls. About 106 adults scheduled for surgery at Cleveland Clinic will fill out surveys before and after their operation. The goal is to see if the group approach improves patient experience and uses healthcare resources wisely.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- preoperative counseling (virtual group sessions vs. individual phone calls)
- What this could lead to
- If virtual group counseling works better, it could improve how patients feel before surgery and make care more patient-friendly.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage study (106 participants) that only measures satisfaction, not surgical outcomes. Virtual groups may not suit everyone.
