Pediatric clinic tests if videos can replace doctor repetition
NCT ID NCT07594041
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Aug 28, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tests whether showing short educational videos to families during pediatric cardiology visits helps them understand their child's condition and makes the clinic run more efficiently. About 300 children and their caregivers will participate at one clinic in San Antonio. The videos cover common reasons for visits like chest pain, heart murmurs, or fainting. Researchers will compare visits before and after the videos are introduced to see if they improve knowledge, satisfaction, and reduce time doctors spend repeating explanations.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could show that simple educational videos help families understand their child's heart condition better and make clinic visits run more smoothly.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage study at one clinic. It tests videos, not a medical treatment, so the impact is limited to education and efficiency—not a cure or therapy.
