Patient Understanding of Informed Consent in Interventional Pain Procedures
Condition(s) studied
Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)
Simplified and Visually Supported Procedure-Specific Information Card: An ethics committee-approved simplified and visually supported information card specific to the planned interventional pain procedure. This card uses plain language and schematic illustrations to highlight key aspects such as procedure purpose, steps, and potential risks. It is provided to participants in the intervention group as an educational supplement in addition to the standard informed consent process
Study summary
This multicenter randomized controlled study will evaluate whether simplified and visually supported procedure-specific information cards improve patients' understanding of informed consent before selected interventional pain procedures. Adult patients scheduled for an eligible procedure will be randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to either a control group or an intervention group. All participants will receive the routine verbal explanation and the standard institution-approved informed consent form for the planned procedure. Participants in the intervention group will additionally receive an ethics committee-approved simplified and visually supported information card related to the planned procedure. Participants in the control group will not receive the additional information card. After the information and consent process, patient understanding will be assessed using a standardized teach-back form before the clinical procedure. The study will compare understanding between the two groups.
Eligibility
Primary outcome measure(s)
- Patient Understanding of Informed Consent Assessed by Teach-Back — Immediately after the informed consent process and before the planned clinical procedure
Patient understanding of the information provided during the informed consent process, assessed using a standardized teach-back form. Participants will be asked to explain the key information about the planned interventional pain procedure in their own words. The primary analysis will compare teach-back understanding between the control group and the intervention group.
