Patient-Centered Versus Physician-Centered Counseling MidUrethral Sling Videos
NCT03198481 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
The decision making process for stress incontinence surgery is complex. A key gap in the literature is how to improve patient preparedness and satisfaction for mid-urethral sling (MUS) surgery that is reproducible and low cost. Multimedia can assist in bridging this gap. The specific aims of the proposed research: (1) is to develop two videos to counsel patients who have elected to undergo a MUS surgery. One video will be created from a patient-centered perspective using peers as counselors. The second will employ a traditional counseling approach; (2) To compare the impact of multimedia counseling between women randomized to a patient-centered counseling versus a traditional counseling video. The investigators will recruit patients who present with stress urinary incontinence who elect to undergo a MUS procedure. Women will be randomized during their pre-operative visit to watch the patient-centered or traditional counseling video before they are counseled regarding their upcoming MUS surgery in the usual manner. The investigators anticipate women randomized to a patient centered-video will report higher satisfaction, less decisional regret, greater preparedness, and less anxiety as measured by validated scales. Successful completion will improve understanding of patient's needs and will allow development of improved educational tools readily available to the AUGS community.

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT03198481
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT03198481 describes a study currently listed as completed. It is categorized as NA, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 70 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is University of New Mexi, which has 107 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 2 conditions, with Stress Urinary Incontinence appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 2 interventions — of which Patient-Centered Counseling Video is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.
Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT03198481 reports 2 study locations spanning 2 distinct geographic areas — top geographies include New Mexico, Texas. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll.
