About this study

Official title: Metabolic Syndrome: Impact of Receiving the Diagnosis and Education Intervention on Cardiovascular Risk Factor Modification and Willingness to Change

This study is being done to gain knowledge on how effective different approaches of providing a diagnosis and varying educational tools that include DVDs and multimedia or printed instruction sheets on your readiness to increase the subject's level of exercise, lose more weight, eat a healthier diet; and to assess the subject's awareness of their risk of heart disease and their readiness to participate in a comprehensive lifestyle modification program.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • High-Tech EducationOther

    Patients will be told that they have the metabolic syndrome and will subsequently watch two 10-minute videos on the metabolic syndrome and on getting started with exercise. They also receive all the paper-based educational material as in arm 2

  • Low-Tech EducationOther

    Patients will be told that they have the metabolic syndrome and will subsequently receive paper-based educational material on the metabolic syndrome,pre-diabetes, and hypertension. They also receive pamphlets on dietary management of high cholesterol and triglycerides, and the importance of exercise and weight loss.

Study groups in NCT00943254

Arm 3No interventionPatients randomized to control receive the diagnosis of individual cardiovascular risk factors with paper-based educational material

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing High-Tech Education and Low-Tech Education in people with Metabolic Cardiovascular Syndrome, run by Mayo Clinic at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 6 inclusion and 17 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Lifestyle Change: Readiness to Exercise, level of physical activity (time frame: 6 weeks). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00943254, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 15 Oct 2010.
