  • Title: Radiculography: is routine bed rest really necessary?
    Author: Macpherson P, Teasdale E, Macpherson PY.
    Journal: Clin Radiol; 1983 May; 34(3):325-6. PubMed ID: 6340917.
    Abstract:
    After undergoing metrizamide radiculography, 119 patients were randomly allocated to two groups, one group remaining ambulant and the other being kept in bed for 24 h. A member of staff who did not know the category allocation questioned each patient regarding the occurrence of side-effects 24 and 48 h after the procedure. It was found that the incidence and severity of complications was neither increased nor decreased by allowing the patient to remain ambulant.
