No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The purpose of this clinical trial is to analyze the effect of augmented reality (AR) on patient education and overall satisfaction when used during preoperative counseling in adults undergoing spinal surgery. The main aims of this study are:

Aim 1: To determine if the use of AR in preoperative consultations is associated with higher levels of patient satisfaction, higher levels of confidence in surgeons, lower levels of preoperative anxiety, and lower patient reported pain scores.

Aim 2: To determine if the use of AR in preoperative consultation will enhance patient education and understanding during the surgical consent process and lead to higher patient retention rates and new patient referrals.

This study will compare AR enhanced preoperative patient counseling with conventional preoperative counseling practices.
