Efficacy of Short-message-based Re-education (SMRE) on Helicobacter Pylori Eradication

October 12, 2016 updated by: Yanqing Li, Shandong University
Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is a pathogen that infects more than 50% of the human population, resulting in high healthcare costs worldwide. However, H. pylori eradication rate is low nowadays and patients's compliance is one of the most important effective factors.

Design Details

  • Primary Purpose: Treatment
  • Allocation: Randomized
  • Interventional Model: Parallel Assignment
  • Masking: None (Open Label)

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Short-message-based Re-education group

Patients receive oral and written education before H. pylori eradication therapy at first, then they receive short message re-education twice per day during therapy.

Both the content of the oral and written education and the short message re-education are same.

Active Comparator: conventional education group
Patients only receive oral and written education before H. pylori eradication therapy.
