Summary
This study tested whether letting doctors practice on a 3D virtual reality model of a patient's spine before a real injection makes the procedure faster and safer. Thirty adults with difficult-to-treat back pain took part. The main goal was to see if VR training reduced procedure time and the number of X-ray images needed.
