Improving patient understanding and satisfaction in interventional radiology
CLINTERVENTIONAL Trial: A Randomized Controlled Two-arm Trial to Evaluate the Impact of Clinical Consultations and Audiovisual Tools in Patients Who Are Going to Undergo Interventional Radiology Procedures.
This study is testing if having video explanations and consultations with interventional radiologists can help patients better understand their procedures and feel more satisfied compared to just getting standard information from their doctors.

What this trial studies
This trial evaluates the effectiveness of pre-procedural consultations and audiovisual tools in enhancing patient comprehension and satisfaction regarding vascular and interventional radiology procedures. Participants will be randomly assigned to either a control group, receiving standard information from their physician, or an experimental group, which will include consultations with interventional radiologists after viewing explanatory videos. The study aims to measure the impact of these interventions on patient anxiety and satisfaction through multi-choice questionnaires.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates include adults scheduled for elective vascular or nonvascular interventional procedures.
Not a fit: Patients under 18, those requiring third-party consent, pregnant individuals, and those undergoing urgent procedures may not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could significantly improve patient understanding and satisfaction, leading to better overall experiences in interventional radiology.
How similar studies have performed: Previous studies have shown that enhanced communication and educational tools can improve patient outcomes, suggesting potential success for this approach.
