CLINTERVENTIONAL Protocol: a Randomized Controlled Trial to Evaluate Clinical Consultations and Audiovisual Tools for Interventional Radiology

Abstract

Trial Registration: NCT05461482 at clinicaltrials.gov.

Relevance Statement: This randomized controlled trial will assess the impact of clinical consultations and explanatory audiovisual tools on patient understanding, satisfaction, and anxiety in interventional radiology. The findings could help establish a more proactive clinical role for interventional radiologists and improve the overall quality of patient-centered care.

Key Points: We describe the protocol of an interventional radiology randomized clinical trial. The control group will receive procedure information from the referring physician and the experimental group receives additional consultation with interventionalists and views a video. Knowledge, satisfaction with information, and patient anxiety will be evaluated. This study will provide insights about the benefits of consultations and videos in interventional radiology.
