Patients are allocated to one of two groups based on the day of the week they undergo surgery. This allocation determines whether the patient receives a follow-up assessment by telephone or in-person with a physiotherapist.\n\nFollowing their assigned follow-up, patients are asked to complete questionnaires via REDCap regarding their satisfaction with the follow-up, regardless of the modality. These questionnaires also collect information on pain, physical function, and health-related quality of life. In addition to the initial assessment immediately after the follow-up, patients are sent the same questionnaires again at one and three months post-surgery.\n\nThe primary objective of the study is to compare outcomes between the two groups, evaluating whether telephone-based follow-up provides a comparable level of satisfaction, pain management, functional recovery, and quality of life to traditional in-person follow-up. The results will inform whether telephone follow-up is a viable and resource-efficient alternative to in-person assessments while maintaining high standards of post-operative care.","Adults undergoing lumbar spine surgery at Aalborg University Hospital, Neurosurgical Department, who are able to read and understand Danish and consent to participate in the study.",[30,34],{"label":31,"type":23,"description":31,"interventionNames":32},"Patients undergoing surgery for low back pain receiving in-person physiotherapy follow-up",[33],"Other: In person post-operative physiotherapy follow-up",{"label":35,"type":23,"description":35,"interventionNames":36},"Patients undergoing surgery for low back pain receiving telephone physiotherapy follow-up",[37],"Other: Telephone post-surgery physiotherapy follow-up",[39,45],{"type":6,"name":40,"description":41,"armGroupLabels":42,"otherNames":43},"Telephone post-surgery physiotherapy follow-up","Post-operative physiotherapy follow-up delivered via a structured telephone consultation.
