ClinConnect Summary

The CLINTERVENTIONAL Trial is a study designed to see if having a consultation with a doctor and watching informative videos before certain medical procedures can help patients better understand what to expect. The trial focuses on patients who are going to have specific vascular and interventional radiology procedures, such as catheter placements or biopsies. To participate, patients should be between the ages of 65 and 74 and not have certain conditions that would prevent their involvement, such as being pregnant or needing urgent care.

In this trial, patients will be randomly placed into two groups. One group will receive information about their procedure from their doctor, while the other group will meet with a specialist after watching educational videos. All participants will fill out questionnaires to share how well they understood the information, how satisfied they felt with what they were told, and how anxious they were about the procedure. The goal is to find out if the added consultations and videos can improve patient understanding and satisfaction, while also reducing anxiety before the procedures. This study is important as it may help improve how doctors communicate with patients in the future.
