Summary

This study tested a device called VerTouch that helps doctors find the right spot for spinal injections. It compared VerTouch to feeling for landmarks by hand (palpation) and using ultrasound. 86 adults having spinal procedures took part. The main goal was to see if VerTouch reduces how many times the needle needs to be adjusted.
