What is the Potential Impact of Reviewing Post-procedure Images With Patients Following Interventional Spine Procedures.
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to explore the impact of spine physicians reviewing post-procedural fluoroscopic images with patients. The outcome measure to be assessed will be the potential impact the patient satisfaction and the patient's global impression of change (PGIC) 2 weeks after the spine procedure.

No Intervention: Post-Procedural Images Not Discussed with Participants During a lumbar epidural steroid injection under fluoroscopic guidance, images are taken as part of the procedure. Following the procedure, the surgeon who performed it will not discuss the images with the participants in this arm. If participants request an explanation of the images, they will not be included in the analysis. |

Other: Post-Procedural Images Discussed with Participants During a lumbar epidural steroid injection under fluoroscopic guidance, images are taken as part of the procedure. Following the procedure, the surgeon who performed it will discuss the images with the participants in this arm. |
Other: Reviewing Imaging with Participant
Post-operatively, the images taken during the procedure will be reviewed with the participant.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Modified Press Gainey Satisfaction (PGS) Questionnaire [Up to 2 hours following procedure in the post-op area]
Patient satisfaction as measured by a modified version of the PGS Questionnaire. The questionnaire is comprised of 9 questions measuring general patient satisfaction with the care experience. Each question is on a scale of 1 (very poor) to 5 (very good). The lowest possible score of the PGS is 9, and the highest possible score is 45. The lower the total score, the poorer the patient's satisfaction, while the higher the score, the higher the patient's satisfaction.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Patient Global Impression of Change (PGIC) [2 weeks following procedure]
The PGIC is a scale participants use to rate the level of change they have experienced following treatment. The PGIC is a 7-point scale from 1 (very much better) to 7 (very much worse). After making this selection, participants then rate the percentage of how their condition is following the transforaminal epidural steroid injection compared to before, with 10% being "a little better" and 100% being "very much better."
