Study summary

Inserting nasal self-packings is a secure method leaving patients more self-confident. We provide a video on https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LaioLYfSJ-E demonstrating how to use nasal self-packings.

Read the detailed description

Inserting nasal self-packings is a secure method leaving patients more self-confident. In HHT centers, patients often learn how to use them, but these centers are rare. Providing a video on https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LaioLYfSJ-E demonstrating how to use nasal self-packings may also help patients without access to HHT centers.

Inclusion criteria

  • age above 17 years old

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • patients younger than 18 years old
  • unable to provide
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(1)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Evaluation of video-assisted teaching

    Evaluation of video-assisted teaching using a questionnaire. Data about using new media (Do you use a smartphone/ tablet (yes/no)? Do you use the internet (e.g. youtube, facebook, instagram...)?) Moreover, patients feeling loosing control (before and after using pneumatic nasal self-packing: how often do have the feeling of losing control (scale form 1 to 5, 1 = very often, 5 = never) and safety (after learning the nasal self-packing with pneumatic tamponades do you feel safe? (scale 1 to 5, 1 = not very safe, 5 = safe) is analyzed. Additional data about number of blood transfusions, hospitalty and doctoral consulation rates (regarding recurrent nosebleeds in the last 12 months: How many bloodtranfusions did you get (because of nosebleeds/ gastrointestinal bleedings/ both)? How often did you see a doctor or needed to be treated in hospital?) is documented.

    Time frame: 1 year

Secondary outcomes

  1. Analyzing duration of consultation

    the duration of the consultation and seeing the video is documented and compared to the Duration of consultations in patients with HHT before having uploaded the video

    Time frame: 1 year

Timeline

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Ran from Jan 2019 to primary completion in Jul 2024, 65 months.

Of 23 observational studies under Telangiectasia, Hereditary Hemorrhagic, half reached primary completion within 56 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 36 and three quarters within 184. This study's 65 months is above that.

How these figures are worked out, and which studies are left out of them.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Dec 10, 2024, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
