Summary

This study aims to create a tool that predicts which patients are likely to have persistent pain after lumbar spine surgery, a condition known as failed back surgery syndrome. Researchers will combine routine blood tests, MRI scans, and psychological questionnaires from 150 adults in Venezuela who are scheduled for elective back surgery. The goal is to develop a risk score that surgeons can use to better counsel patients and plan treatment.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

What this could lead to
If successful, this could give surgeons a simple, low-cost way to identify patients at high risk for failed back surgery before they go under the knife.
What could go wrong
This is an early-stage model development study in a single country (Venezuela). The tool may not work as well in other populations or settings, and it does not test any treatment.
