ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking at how using back support can help patients after a procedure called transfemoral coronary angiography (CAG). During this procedure, patients need to lie flat for a long time, which can cause discomfort, back pain, and changes in important health measurements like heart rate and blood pressure. The goal of this study is to see if providing back support can make patients more comfortable and help keep their vital signs stable, ultimately improving their overall experience and satisfaction during recovery.

To participate in this trial, you must be an adult over 18 years old who has undergone femoral coronary angiography and can communicate verbally. However, if you have a history of chronic back pain, past back surgery, or certain blood-related issues, you won't be eligible to join. If you decide to participate, you can expect to receive back support after your procedure, and researchers will monitor your vital signs to see how it affects your comfort and health during recovery.
