NCT ID NCT06515275
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tested whether watching a short video about how to use IVF medications could improve quality of life and reduce anxiety in women going through IVF for the first time. Sixty-two women participated, and researchers measured their distress, quality of life, and anxiety levels. The goal was to see if simple video education could make the IVF experience less stressful.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

- video education on self-administered IVF medications
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could show that simple video education helps women feel less anxious and more in control during IVF treatment.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, completed study with only 62 participants, so results may not apply to all women. The effect may be small or not meaningful in real-world settings.
