NCT ID NCT06659497
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study investigates whether a 60-minute web-based education program can reduce infertility-related distress and improve fertility readiness in women undergoing intrauterine insemination (IUI) treatment. The program covers fertility basics, diagnostic methods, medications, and post-insemination care. Researchers will measure distress levels and readiness using validated scales in 90 women with primary infertility.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- web-based patient education
- What this could lead to
- If effective, this web-based education could help women feel less distressed and more prepared during IUI treatment.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage study with 90 participants, so results may not apply to all women. The education may not significantly reduce distress or improve readiness.
