Radiofrequency Ablation Pre-Procedure Questionnaire
What a radiofrequency ablation pre-procedure questionnaire asks, with sample questions for pain clinic staff.
A radiofrequency ablation pre-procedure questionnaire records earlier nerve blocks, implanted devices, medicines, allergies, and the ride home before an ablation visit. These questions come from Northeastern Vermont Regional Hospital, University of Wisconsin Hospital and Clinics, and Stony Brook Medicine sheets and forms, not a dedicated form.
Radiofrequency ablation pre-procedure questionnaire, handled by the AI Doctor avatar
AI Doctor, a real-time AI healthcare assistant avatar, asks the questions on a radiofrequency ablation pre-procedure questionnaire in the patient's own language, strictly following the practice's instructions.
- Intake before the visit. Patients answer online before they arrive, or at a kiosk when they check in.
- Answers ready for the clinician. Clinicians see what the patient said before the visit starts.
- Less workload at the front desk. Staff spend less time handing out forms and entering answers by hand.
- Key details at a glance. The care team sees what matters up front and decides who needs attention first.
The form becomes a natural conversation: patients answer by talking, in their own words. AI Doctor is an information and patient-assistance interface. It collects answers for the care team to review. It doesn't diagnose, triage, or give treatment advice.

Questions built from hospital sheets and a pain clinic form, written out so you can see the level of detail. Every practice words its own form differently.
- Have you had a medial branch block?Past blocks
- Did a past block help your pain?Past blocks

- Do you have a spinal cord stimulator?Implanted devices
- Do you take a blood thinner?Medicines
- Are you taking antibiotics or steroids?Medicines
- Are you allergic to local anesthetics?Allergies
- Are you allergic to contrast dye or latex?Allergies

These are examples to read, not a form to fill in.
Radiofrequency ablation pre-procedure questionnaire: FAQ
What does a radiofrequency ablation pre-procedure questionnaire ask?
The sample questions on this page are based on Northeastern Vermont Regional Hospital, University of Wisconsin Hospital and Clinics, and Stony Brook Medicine documents. None is a dedicated form, and this page groups them into six areas: past blocks, implanted devices, medicines, allergies, health history, and visit logistics.
Who answers a radiofrequency ablation pre-procedure questionnaire?
The patient, ahead of the visit. The Northeastern Vermont Regional Hospital sheet asks patients to tell the provider about implanted devices, blood thinners, and allergies.
Which implanted devices does it ask about?
The Northeastern Vermont Regional Hospital sheet names pacemakers, spinal cord stimulators, and vagus nerve stimulators.
Does it ask about earlier nerve blocks?
Yes. The Stony Brook Medicine form lists medial branch blocks, facet injections, and radiofrequency ablation by spine region, then asks which procedures helped.
Is it the same as a facet injection checklist?
A University of Wisconsin screening sheet covers facet and sacroiliac joint injections, not radiofrequency ablation. It has lines for blood thinners, infection, and contrast allergy.
Is there a radiofrequency ablation pre-procedure questionnaire template?
The sample questions on this page show a typical set. AI Doctor records each answer, and the practice decides what happens next.
Does AI Doctor give medical advice?
No. It collects information for the care team. It doesn't diagnose, triage, or recommend treatment.
Can patient answers stay on our own servers?
Yes. RAVATAR offers on-prem deployment: the platform can run inside your own perimeter, so patient answers stay there. RAVATAR complies with GDPR and the EU AI Act.
