Postoperative Care After Carpal Tunnel Release Using Short Educational Videos (NCT06647719)
Patient Directed Care After Carpal Tunnel Release Using Video Integration and Digital Education After Operations (VIDEO)
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if a patient-directed postoperative care program, using short educational videos, can improve patient satisfaction and reduce healthcare resource utilization in patients undergoing carpal tunnel release (CTR). The main questions it aims to answer are: Will patients in the video-based care program be more satisfied with their postoperative care? Will this approach reduce healthcare resource use and the burden on patients without increasing complication rates? Researchers will compare the video-based patient-directed care group to the standard in-person follow-up group to see if patient satisfaction and resource use differ while maintaining similar outcomes and complication rates. Participants will: Watch three short educational videos (\< 60 seconds each) on postoperative care. Schedule a suture removal appointment with a nurse at their convenience if needed. Continue to have access to their provider through traditional methods such as phone, EMR, or urgent in-person visits.
