Description
Emma Lappalainen and co-authors ask whether mood and resilience before spine surgery shape outcomes a year later, in work published in 2024. The study reuses data from a trial of pain treatment after elective spine surgery. Patients filled in scales for life satisfaction, pain interference, anxiety, depression, and resilience before surgery and again after.
Data came from 113 patients at the one-year mark, a high response rate. Life satisfaction rose sharply in both treatment groups, and pain interference fell by more than half. Yet the analysis found no clear predictive value in pre-surgery anxiety, depression, or resilience for either outcome. The authors note the result with care, since past work often links mood to surgical recovery. The study adds a null finding to that debate.
