Study Summary

Spinal stenosis is one of the most common causes of low back pain among older adults and can result in significant disability. Despite this, it still isn't known which treatments are most effective or what outcomes are most important to these older adults. Through a Patient Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI) contract, the investigators are building on the existing infrastructure of an AHRQ-funded (ARRA CHOICE award) comparative effectiveness research (CER) trial of epidural steroid injections (ESI) for spinal stenosis (the LESS trial) to address several critical research questions. The proposed study will answer the following key questions. Do decision aids tailored to older adults with spinal stenosis change patient decision-making regarding subsequent treatments? Do patients respond differently at subsequent outcome assessments time-points after receiving tailored decision aids that contain their own individual outcome data from prior treatments? The investigators hypothesize that providing these individualized reports will allow patients to make more informed choices regarding subsequent treatments, leading to reduced use of ineffective treatments and improved outcomes overall.

Primary Outcome

We will measure whether or not providing these individualized reports to patients impacts patients decision-making regarding use of epidural steroid injections between 18 and 24 months
