Area of Science:

  • Pain Medicine
  • Interventional Pain Management
  • Quality Assurance Programs

Background:

  • Existing quality assurance guidelines in pain medicine do not adequately cover interventional pain management.
  • Interventional pain programs require evaluation of efficacy, complication rates, and patient satisfaction.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To monitor the quality of interventional pain management procedures.
  • To assess immediate pain relief, patient satisfaction, and complication rates.

Main Methods:

  • Prospective survey conducted from January 1, 2004, to June 30, 2004.
  • Data collected via questionnaires for patients and physicians immediately post-procedure.
  • Included various interventional pain procedures such as epidural steroid injections and spinal cord stimulator trials.

Main Results:

  • 92% of patients reported pain relief, with an average pain score decrease of 4.7 (0-10 scale).
  • No major complications were reported among the surveyed patients.
  • 91.8% of patients were satisfied or highly satisfied with immediate procedural outcomes.

Conclusions:

  • Quality assurance in interventional pain management is achievable.
  • Effective pain relief, low complication rates, and high patient satisfaction are key indicators.
  • Implementation of a quality assurance program is recommended for interventional pain procedures.
