Study Overview
Brief Summary
This study aims to develop a new evaluation tool to assess patient acceptability of percutaneous interventions. A Delphi methodology will be implemented, involving the recruitment of a panel of experts in percutaneous interventions and pain management. The scale will be developed through several iterative phases until a final version is reached, comprising clearly defined domains, subdomains, items, and questions to be answered by patients in order to obtain an overall acceptability score for the percutaneous technique received. The scale is intended to be applicable across a wide range of percutaneous interventions and, consequently, to a broad patient population undergoing different percutaneous treatments depending on their clinical condition.

Arms & Interventions
Experts Panel
21 experts (4 women and 17 men) took part in the study. The expert panel consisted of 14 physiotherapists, 3 psychologists, and 3 physicians
Intervention: Iterative focus group sessions and individual evaluation phases (Other)
Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Consensus among the experts
Time Frame: Consensus will be achieved through 5 evaluation phases: Day 1 and Day 7 after firstand second, respectively, focus group sessions Month 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5, after each individual evaluation round
Consensus must be achieved among the experts panel to establish final decisions on the acceptability scale development.
