Tokyo, Sept. 30 -- UMIN Clinical Trials Registry (UMIN-CTR) received information related to the study (UMIN000062494) titled 'Effectiveness of Video-based Educational Material for Basic Gastrointestinal Endoscopy Training: A Prospective Randomized Controlled Trial' on Sept. 30.

Study Type: Interventional

Study Design: Basic Design - Parallel Randomization - Randomized Blinding - Open -no one is blinded Control - Active

Primary Sponsor: Institute - Okayama University

Condition: Condition - None (Educational study) Classification by malignancy - Others Genomic information - NO

Objective: Narrative objectives1 - The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether video-based educational material simultaneously visualizing endoscope tip movement and hand manipulation improves the acquisition of basic endoscopic skills compared with conventional verbal instruction in novice medical students. The primary outcome is task completion time, and the secondary outcomes are success rates of retroflexion and stretching maneuvers, comprehension, and learner satisfaction. Basic objectives2 - Efficacy

Intervention: Interventions/Control_1 - Video-based education group: Participants will watch a 10-minute educational video simultaneously visualizing endoscope tip movement and hand manipulation (angulation, torque, insertion, and withdrawal), followed by retroflexion and stretching tasks using an Accutouch endoscopy simulator. Interventions/Control_2 - Conventional instruction group: Participants will receive approximately 10 minutes of conventional verbal instruction from an instructor, followed by retroflexion and stretching tasks using an Accutouch endoscopy simulator.
