Can changing words in MRI reports reduce unnecessary back pain?
NCT ID NCT06103474
Summary
This study investigated whether the specific language used in MRI reports for lower back pain influences patients' pain levels and treatment choices. Researchers worked with 18 adults who had back pain and were getting an MRI. They wanted to see if clearer, less alarming report wording could reduce negative expectations that might lead to more invasive procedures.
