title = "Anxiety and pain as predictors of distress during a myelography procedure",
abstract = "Seventy patients were interviewed 24 hours preceding and 24 hours following a myelography procedure. Patient data included history and description of the pain problem, demographic information and mood scales. The second interview also included patients' recollection of their level of distress, pain, anxiety and related states during the myelography procedure. A regression analysis revealed that the best predictors of distress during myelography were the pain and anxiety experienced by patients during the procedure. These two variables together accounted for 64% of the variance in reported distress and each contributed unique variance to distress. Other correlates of distress, pain and anxiety were also presented.",
