Educational Video for Reducing NSAID Use in Chronic Conditions
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
This trial aims to determine if a short educational video can help individuals with chronic kidney disease, heart failure, or high blood pressure reduce their use of over-the-counter painkillers known as NSAIDs, which can be harmful. Participants will either watch the video or view a control image, then complete surveys to assess any changes in their use or intent to use these painkillers. The study could lead to improved public health strategies for safe pain management. Ideal participants regularly use over-the-counter NSAIDs and have one of the mentioned chronic conditions. As an unphased trial, it offers participants the chance to contribute to significant research that could enhance pain management strategies for many.
Do I need to stop my current medications for this trial?
The trial does not specify if you need to stop taking your current medications. It focuses on reducing over-the-counter NSAID use, so you may not need to change other medications.
What prior data suggests that this educational video is safe for influencing behavior change?
Research has shown that educational videos are generally safe and well-tolerated. In this trial, the treatment involves an educational video designed to help reduce the use of common pain relievers known as NSAIDs. Watching a video does not cause any physical side effects.
Studies have found that these videos effectively share important health information without causing harm. The video in this trial aims to inform people about the risks of using NSAIDs and suggest safer alternatives. The video itself poses no health risks to participants.12345Why are researchers excited about this trial?
Researchers are excited about this trial because it explores a novel approach to reducing NSAID use through patient education. While traditional methods rely heavily on prescribing alternative medications or therapies, this trial leverages a brief, engaging video to inform patients about the risks of NSAIDs and suggest safer options. This unique method could empower patients with knowledge in just a few minutes, potentially leading to safer self-management of chronic conditions. By emphasizing education, the trial could shift the paradigm from medication reliance to informed decision-making, offering a refreshing alternative to current practices.
What evidence suggests that this educational video is effective for reducing NSAID use in chronic conditions?
Research has shown that educational videos can change how people use medications. Studies have found that videos make it easier to understand the risks of using over-the-counter pain relievers like NSAIDs (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs). In this trial, participants in the experimental arm will watch an educational video designed to help people recognize harmful medication use and consider other options. This video uses the COM-B model, which aims to change behavior by enhancing people's ability, opportunity, and motivation to act. In one study, a similar video helped people at high risk, such as those with kidney or heart issues, reduce their regular use of these medications.16789
