Effectiveness of verbal, written, and video-based educational interventions in hand rehabilitation for occupational hand and forearm injuries: A randomized controlled, single-blinded trial

Listen to this summary

The authors aimed to compare the effectiveness of verbal, written, and video-based educational interventions on trauma-related distress, functional outcomes, and patient perceptions in individuals with occupational hand and forearm injuries. The study found that all three educational formats led to improvements in psychological and functional outcomes, but no single method was consistently superior, suggesting that the choice of educational delivery can be tailored to patient preferences and clinical contexts.
