研究组 & 干预措施
Standardized Care After Back Surgery
Participants in this arm receive a structured standardized care program in addition to routine postoperative management following lumbar spine surgery. The program includes individualized patient education regarding pain management, wound care, early mobilization, activity modification, body mechanics, medication adherence, prevention of complications, and follow-up instructions. Educational materials and verbal instructions are provided preoperatively and reinforced postoperatively to improve pain outcomes, functional recovery, knowledge, and satisfaction.
干预措施: Standardized Educational Care Program (Behavioral)
Routine Postoperative Care
Participants in this arm receive routine postoperative hospital care following lumbar spine surgery without the structured standardized educational care program.
结局指标
主要结局
Change in Pain Intensity Score
时间窗: Baseline and 8 weeks postoperatively
Pain intensity was measured using the Universal Pain Assessment Tool (0-10 numeric rating scale). Higher scores indicate greater pain severity. The primary endpoint is the change in pain score from baseline (pre-intervention) to 8 weeks postoperatively.
次要结局
- Change in Functional Disability Score(Baseline and 8 weeks postoperatively)
