Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of the following study is to analyze the effects of a prehabilitation program based on therapeutic exercise, back care education and pain neuroscience education through the visualization of videos, compared to standardized written therapeutic exercise in patients undergoing lumbar radiculopathy surgery.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

So far, there are no previous studies that analyze the effects of a prehabilitation program including therapeutic exercise, back care education and pain neuroscience education through the visualization of videos in patients undergoing lumbar radiculopathy surgery.

This is a multicenter randomized clinical trial aimed at analyzing the effects of a 4 weeks prehabilitation program based on video visualization versus the performance of standardized written exercises in patients undergoing lumbar radiculopathy surgery.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* Adults aged 18 years or older, diagnosed with lumbar radiculopathy, and scheduled for surgery. The symptoms will be predominantly leg pain with or without neurological deficit, with surgical decompression justified.

Exclusion Criteria

* Patients currently receiving any other non-pharmacological treatment or physical therapy for the management of lumbar radiculopathy.
* Proposed for surgery with instrumentation (e.g., spinal fusion, arthrodesis).
* Suffering from a chronic pain-related condition (e.g., fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome).
* Symptoms of spinal cord compression.
* Diagnosed with a malignant tumor.
* Mental illness.
* Previously undergone spinal surgery.
* No access to any internet-enabled device.
