Why
  1. The study's listed conditions name Macular Edema, a narrower term within Macular Degeneration.
Confidence
High: the new condition is named in the study's own listed conditions. Of 351 hand-checked studies reclassified this way, 68% were exactly right and 84% in the right disease family; the registry's first term was right for 5% (measured 2026-10-21). How we classify →

Study summary

Study Objective The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate whether viewing a procedural video can improve the patient experience and reduce the incidence and severity of subconjunctival hemorrhage in individuals undergoing intravitreal anti-VEGF injections.

Key Research Questions

  1. Can viewing the procedural video prior to treatment reduce the rate and/or area of subconjunctival hemorrhage?
  2. Can the video improve the patient experience, specifically by reducing anxiety levels and increasing satisfaction with the treatment process?

Study Design Participants will be randomly assigned to either an intervention group, who will watch an educational video explaining the injection procedure, or a control group, who will not view the video.

All participants will complete the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory-State (STAI-S) questionnaire both before and after treatment to assess changes in anxiety levels.

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.

    Behavioral: Procedure video viewing

  • No intervention

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Rate and area of subconjunctival hemorrhage

    After the injection, a photograph of the eye will be taken to document the presence of subconjunctival hemorrhage and to measure the hemorrhage area using ImageJ software.

    Time frame: 3 minutes after the intravitreal injection procedure.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Anxiety levels assessed by State-Trait Anxiety Inventory-State (STAI-S)

    State-Trait Anxiety Inventory-State (STAI-S) questionnaire both before and after treatment to assess changes in anxiety levels

    Time frame: 30 minutes before and after the procedure.

Other outcomes

  1. Patient satisfaction assessed by a satisfaction score questionnaire

    Patient satisfaction with the treatment process will be assessed using a 10-point Likert scale satisfaction score collected after the procedure, where 1 indicates "not satisfied at all" and 10 indicates "completely satisfied".

    Time frame: 30 minutes after the procedure.

  2. Physician's assessment of patient cooperation during the procedure

    Physician's assessment of patient cooperation during the procedure Patient cooperation will be assessed by the physician immediately after the procedure using a 10-point Likert scale, where 1 indicates completely uncooperative and 10 indicates fully cooperative. The scale is based on observable patient behavior such as adherence to instructions, physical movements, and verbal interaction during the procedure.

    Time frame: Immediately after the intravitreal injection procedure

  3. Total procedure time

    The time duration from the start of disinfection to the completion of the injection.

    Time frame: During the procedure.
