Pre-Surgical Behavioral Assessments

Spinal Chord Stimulator/Peripheral Nerve Stimulator or Intrathecal Pumps

  •  SCS therapy is a well-established pain treatment used by doctors for more than 50 years. This type of treatment for chronic pain has proven to provide relief from both pain and emotional suffering. Chronic pain patients who are seeking an SCS, PNS or an intrathecal pump may have some level of pre-existing depression and anxiety, which may increase if the device becomes ineffective in reducing the patient’s pain level. 
  • Treatment of chronic pain is multidisciplinary, drawing on cognitive and behavioral psychological therapies.  Appropriate selection of patients helps ensure that implantable therapies are used for those who are most likely to benefit.
  • An evaluation is designed to help identify the right patient to achieve the maximum benefit from an implanted device. Patients can be more informed of their chances of success as well as the risks associated with the procedure.



Spinal Chord Fusion and Laminectomy

 

  • Like spinal chord stimulator implants, spine surgery can have a profound effect on a patient, surgeon, as well as third-party payers. Unfortunately, if a spine surgery fails, the patient continues to remain disabled, with perhaps even greater pain, increased medication dependence and more emotional difficulty than before the surgery. 
  • The many psychosocial risk factors that challenge spine surgery results can be assessed through psychometric testing and a detailed patient interview.


Bariatric Surgery

 

  • Almost all bariatric surgery programs in the U.S. request candidates to undergo a pre-surgical psychological screening to identify potential contraindications to surgery, such as substance abuse, poorly controlled depression or other major mental illness, as well as help identify potential postoperative challenges and facilitate behavioral changes that can enhance postoperative weight maintenance.  
  • Factors such as mood or anxiety disorders, depression, and eating disorders, need to be evaluated to screen individuals who will more than likely be successful post-surgery. 
  • The pre-surgical evaluation plays a vital role in identifying psychosocial issues that a patient may encounter postoperatively. 
  • It is also considered a unique opportunity to perform the psychoeducation of the patient about the changes resulting from the surgery, offer psychological support and prepare the candidate for behavioral modifications that must occur in the postoperative period.
