Summary
This study tests whether a 5-minute educational video about uterine fibroids and their treatments can help patients feel less conflicted when deciding on a treatment plan. About 154 women with fibroids will be randomly assigned to watch the video before their appointment or receive usual care. Researchers will measure decisional conflict using a survey after the visit.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- educational video
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could help patients feel more confident and less conflicted when choosing among fibroid treatments.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage study testing a behavioral intervention, not a new drug or procedure. The video may not significantly reduce decisional conflict for everyone.
