NCT ID NCT06168448
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looked at whether showing patients a short video, along with the usual oral and written information, helps them better understand upcoming medical exams for infectious diseases. 97 adults hospitalized in a French hospital took part. Researchers measured how well patients felt they understood the information before and after the exam.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- video information
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could show that adding a short video to standard information helps patients better understand their upcoming medical exams.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, completed study with only 97 participants. It measured perceived understanding, not actual health outcomes, so results may not change practice.
