In the patient-centered practice of musculoskeletal interventional radiology, pre-procedure, intra-procedure, and post-procedure factors impact the patient’s overall experience. Opportunities to improve the patient experience begin before the patient procedure starts, with smooth scheduling of the appointment, a positive office environment, and appropriate communication by the musculoskeletal interventional radiology staff before the procedure, including clear expectations regarding wait times. The initial conversation between the radiologist and the patient, including the informed consent process, is a crucial opportunity for creating rapport with the patient and generating trust in the radiologist. Being able to interpret a patient’s verbal and non-verbal cues during this conversation can reduce anxiety and enhance relaxation. During the procedure, there are interventions which can decrease anxiety and reduce the perception of pain by the patient. These include psychological interventions such as self-induced hypnosis, communication-based interventions such as empathic communication to mold a patient’s interpretation of anxiety and painful stimuli, and the use of ancillary tools such as music or video stimulation. Finally, clear post-procedure expectations regarding post-procedure pain and its management and assurances of access to the musculoskeletal interventional radiology team can facilitate an uncomplicated post-procedure recovery.

在以患者为中心的肌肉骨骼介入放射学实践中，术前、术中和术后因素会影响患者的整体体验。改善患者体验的机会在患者手术开始之前就开始了，包括预约的顺利安排、积极的办公环境以及肌肉骨骼介入放射学工作人员在手术前进行的适当沟通，包括对等待时间的明确预期。放射科医生与患者之间的初步对话，包括知情同意过程，是与患者建立融洽关系并建立对放射科医生信任的重要机会。能够在谈话中解读患者的口头和非口头暗示可以减少焦虑并增强放松。在手术过程中，有一些干预措施可以减少焦虑并减少患者的疼痛感。这些包括自我催眠等心理干预、基于交流的干预（例如共情交流以塑造患者对焦虑和痛苦刺激的解释）以及使用辅助工具（例如音乐或视频刺激）。最后，关于术后疼痛的明确术后期望及其管理和肌肉骨骼介入放射学团队的准入保证可以促进简单的术后恢复。基于沟通的干预措施，例如共情沟通，以塑造患者对焦虑和痛苦刺激的解释，以及使用辅助工具，例如音乐或视频刺激。最后，关于术后疼痛的明确术后期望及其管理和肌肉骨骼介入放射学团队的准入保证可以促进简单的术后恢复。基于沟通的干预措施，例如共情沟通，以塑造患者对焦虑和痛苦刺激的解释，以及使用辅助工具，例如音乐或视频刺激。最后，关于术后疼痛的明确术后期望及其管理和肌肉骨骼介入放射学团队的准入保证可以促进简单的术后恢复。
