Ameliorated Pap Tests and Cervical Cancer Screening Participation
Effects of the Ameliorated Pap Test on Cervical Cancer Screening Participation: a Multicenter Randomized Controlled Trial
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 30 Oct 2026
Brief summary (registry, in English)
The Pap test plays a crucial role in the early detection of cervical cancer. A pilot single-center randomized controlled trial applied the peak-end concept and added a non-painful step at the end of Pap smear screening, aimed to reduce recalled pain. However, there is still no multicenter study investigating the effect of the modified Pap test on cervical cancer screening participation. The present project is the first multicenter randomized controlled trial to expand the current scope of the peak-end theory into Pap tests and cervical cancer screening participation by adding a non-painful step at the end of Pap smear screening. Our multidisciplinary team (NTUH Pap Study Group) aims to provide innovative, feasible, and low-cost strategies for cervical cancer screening participation.
