About this trial
Performing a consultation with the radiologist before a spinal invasive procedure serves to foster a trusting physician-patient relationship. It also provides an opportunity for the comprehensive explanation of the procedure, its aftermath, and any patient inquiries. We believe that this proactive approach has the potential to alleviate pre-procedure anxiety, thereby contributing to an enhanced overall experience of the intervention and its outcomes. Despite these potential benefits, it is noteworthy that such consultations are not systematically implemented, and their impact on the intervention effictness remains unexplored in existing literature.
The hypothesis is grounded in the belief that patients who perform a consultation preceding their spinal intervention are likely to witness improvements in both the overall experience of the procedure and its effectiveness.
