About this study

Official title: Use of 3-D Printed Models to Improve Patient Understanding During the Informed Consent Process: A Pilot Study

Pre-made rapid prototyping models will be used to increase patient education versus current methodologies.

Read the detailed description

Post-partum women and their co-parent will have a medical condition explained to them first verbally, followed by a questionnaire, and then with the use of anatomical models created by rapid prototyping, followed by a questionnaire. The two questionnaires will then be compared.

Being tested
RP model explanation and questionnaire

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Patient Education, run by Milton S. Hershey Medical Center.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 8 inclusion and 10 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 11 Feb 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Difference in questionnaire score (time frame: through study completion, an average of 1 year). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02718807, which also lists 12 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 11 Feb 2022.
