Summary
It is common for patients undergoing spinal injections to report anxiety prior to the injection. Although sedation, general anesthesia, and medications can be used to reduce anxiety, the use of sedative agents during the procedure can increase the risk of spinal cord injury. The purpose of this study is to see if receiving acupuncture before a spinal injection can effectively reduce patients' anxiety. Only patients who are scheduled to receive a spinal injection at this institution will be eligible for the study.
