RAdiology Consultation Effectiveness

Impact of Interventional Radiology Consultation on the Spinal Infiltrations Effectiveness

Sponsor

University Hospital, Montpellier

Enrollment

270 participants

Start Date

Feb 12, 2025

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Back Pain Radiology, Interventional Spinal Injections

Summary

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.

OTHERpre-operative consultation

Pre-operative consultation, in person or by teleconsultation, consists of an interview about the patient's history and symptoms. This is followed by a clinical examination and consultation of the patient's imaging file, to confirm the request for paraspinal infiltration and its location. In addition, the radiologist explains the procedure to the patient, supplementing the explanatory documents already provided at the time of the appointment, and outlines the results that may be expected and any complications.
