NCT ID NCT02257554
Summary
This study examines whether patients and their surgeons have similar expectations about what lumbar spine surgery will accomplish. Researchers surveyed 437 patients scheduled for back surgery and their surgeons before the procedures to compare their expectations about physical and psychological outcomes. The goal is to understand if mismatched expectations affect recovery and satisfaction, which could help improve communication and surgical results.
