Patients undergoing myelogram procedures can experience reduced anxiety with targeted preparatory information. This information details expected sensations during lumbar and cervical myelograms, improving patient preparation.

Area of Science:

  • Radiology
  • Patient Care
  • Medical Education

Background:

  • Myelogram procedures can cause patient anxiety due to the unknown sensations.
  • Effective patient preparation is crucial for managing anxiety during medical imaging.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify and describe patient-reported sensations during myelogram procedures.
  • To develop evidence-based preparatory information for patients undergoing myelograms.

Main Methods:

  • Qualitative study involving 28 patients (16 lumbar, 12 cervical) undergoing myelograms.
  • Patients described their sensory experiences during the procedure.
  • Analysis of reported sensations experienced by 40% or more of participants.

Main Results:

  • Common sensations included the cold examining table, site cleansing, local anesthetic injection, spinal needle insertion, and contrast medium injection.
  • Specific sensations varied between lumbar (sharp, tingling) and cervical (burning) myelograms.
  • These sensations were correlated with the temporal aspects of the procedure.

Conclusions:

  • The identified sensations and their timing can form the basis of a preparatory information intervention.
  • Providing this specific information is expected to reduce patient anxiety before and during myelogram procedures.
