A randomized, placebo-controlled trial of long-acting dexamethasone viscous gel delivered by transforaminal injection for lumbosacral radicularpain ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT03372161.
Comparing the clinical efficacy of preganglionic and preganglionic plus ganglionic transforaminal epidural steroid injections for lumbosacral radicularpain. To compare the effectiveness of preganglionic transforaminal epidural steroid injection (TFESI) with preganglionic plus postganglionic TFESI. Patients with unilateral radicularpain and disc pathology were randomly assigned to either with unilateral discogenic radicularpain. The preganglionic TFESI approach alone at the disc level was sufficient to achieve pain relief.
Six-Month Follow-up of a Trial of Spinal Cord Burst Stimulation vs Placebo Stimulation and Disability in Patients With Chronic RadicularPain After Lumbar Spine Surgery. This follow-up study examines back pain–related disability at 6 months following a randomized trial of spinal cord burst stimulation for chronic radicularpain after lumbar spine surgery.
Ultrasound-guided Versus Computed Tomography Fluoroscopy-assisted Cervical Transforaminal Steroid Injection for the Treatment of RadicularPain in the Lower Cervical Spine: A Randomized Single-blind Controlled Noninferiority Study To estimate the contrast dispersion short-term clinical efficacy and safety of ultrasound (US)-guided transforaminal steroid injection (TFSI) compared with computed tomography (CT) guidance for the treatment of cervical radicularpain. A total of 430 patients with cervical radicularpain from cervical herniated disk or cervical spondylosis were recruited in the randomized, single-blind, controlled, noninferiority trial. The patients were randomly assigned to receive either the US-guided or CT-guided TFSI for 1 affected cervical nerve. The dispersion pattern
The Short-Term Outcome of Transforaminal Epidural Steroid Injection in Patients with RadicularPain Due to Foraminal Stenosis from Lumbar Isthmic Spondylolisthesis. In this study, we evaluated the therapeutic outcomes of transforaminal epidural steroid injection (TFESI) in managing chronic radicularpain due to foraminal stenosis. Furthermore, we evaluated its effectiveness according to isthmic spondylolisthesis (IS) severity. We included 40 patients with radicularpain due to IS-derived foraminal stenosis in our study and treated them with TFESI. Two patients were lost during follow-up. Based on the lateral lumbar radiograph findings, we allocated the recruited patients with < 25% slippage by IS to Group 1 (n = 23) and those having 25-50% slippage to Group 2 (n = 15). The degree of pain was measured
Comparative-effectiveness study evaluating outcomes for transforaminal epidural steroid injections performed with 3% hypertonic saline or normal saline in lumbosacral radicularpain. Transforaminal epidural steroid injections (TFESI) are commonly employed to treat lumbosacral radiculopathy. Despite anti-inflammatory properties, the addition of 3% hypertonic saline has not been studied. Compare
Effects of Pulsed Radiofrequency Duration in Patients With Chronic Lumbosacral RadicularPain: A Randomized Double-Blind Study. We hypothesized that the duration of pulsed radiofrequency (PRF) application may affect the effectiveness of PRF in patients with chronic lumbosacral radicularpain (LRP). In this prospective, double-blind, randomized study, 68 patients were randomly allocated to two
Prediction of transforaminal epidural injection success in sciatica (POTEISS): a protocol for the development of a multivariable prediction model for outcome after transforaminal epidural steroid injection in patients with lumbar radicularpain due to di Transforaminal epidural injections (TEI) can alleviate symptoms and help to maintain physical functioning and quality of life in patients with lumbar radicularpain. We aim to develop a prediction model for patient outcome after TEI in patients suffering from unilateral lumbar radicularpain due to lumbar disc herniation (LDH) or single-level spinal stenosis (LSS). The secondary aim is to estimate short-term patient outcome differences between LDH and LSS patients, the association between psychological variables and patient outcome, the rate
Cervical transforaminal epidural steroid injections for radicularpain : a systematic review Cervical radiculopathy is a significant cause of pain and morbidity. For patients with severe and poorly controlled symptoms who may not be candidates for surgical management, treatment with transforaminal epidural steroid injections (CTFESI) has gained widespread acceptance. However, a paucity of high
Effect of Spinal Cord Burst Stimulation vs Placebo Stimulation on Disability in Patients With Chronic RadicularPain After Lumbar Spine Surgery: A Randomized Clinical Trial. The use of spinal cord stimulation for chronic pain after lumbar spine surgery is increasing, yet rigorous evidence of its efficacy is lacking. To investigate the efficacy of spinal cord burst stimulation, which involves surgical revision of the implanted system. Among patients with chronic radicularpain after lumbar spine surgery, spinal cord burst stimulation, compared with placebo stimulation, after placement of a spinal cord stimulator resulted in no significant difference in the change from baseline in self-reported back pain-related disability. ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT03546738.
Supraneural versus Infraneural Approach to transforaMinal Epidural StEroid injection for unilateral lumbosacral radicularpain (SIAMESE): a study protocol for a randomised non-inferiority trial. Lumbosacral radicularpain is commonly treated by transforaminal steroid epidural injection. There are two methods: the supraneural and the infraneural approaches. The supraneural approach can result in rare but catastrophic consequences from injury to the radiculomedullary artery. The infraneural technique avoids the artery; both approaches show efficacy and are used locally. This is a protocol for a randomised, single-blinded, non-inferiority trial of infraneural supraneural transforaminal epidural injection for lumbosacral radicularpain at a tertiary referral pain management clinic. Adult
Periradicular corticosteroid infiltration for radicularpain - comparison of Diprophos and Depomedrone and ozone effects. To determine the treatment effect of corticosteroids in periradicular therapy (PRT) for radicularpain and to compare different types of corticosteroids and ozone. We also examined the effect in different indication groups for periradicular therapy for each type of treatment agent. Various studies have examined the therapeutic value of periradicular infiltration using treatment agents consisting of local anesthetic and corticosteroids or ozone application for radicularpain. This is the first study to compare different types of corticosteroids and ozone. Eligible patients with radicularpain who failed conservative management were divided into five indication groups
Ultrasound-guided pulsed radiofrequency of cervical nerve root for cervical radicularpain: A prospective randomized controlled trial. Pulsed radiofrequency (PRF) on cervical dorsal root ganglion (DRG) for pain management in cervical radicularpain is mainly performed via a transforaminal approach under fluoroscopic guidance. Ultrasound-guidance periradicular cervical nerve root intervention raises concern about the neuromodulatory effect. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness and duration of pain relief between PRF treatment and steroid injection on the cervical nerve roots. To evaluate the efficacy of pulsed radiofrequency for cervical radicularpain. A prospective, double-blinded, randomized controlled clinical trial PATIENT SAMPLE: Patients who underwent ultrasound-guided
Transforaminal versus interlaminar CT-guided lumbar epidural steroid injections: prospective study of 237 patients with unilateral radicularpain and up to 5 years of follow-up. To compare the efficacy of the transforaminal approach (TFA) versus the interlaminar approach (ILA) for CT-guided epidural steroid injection (CTESI) in the treatment of persistent lumbosacral radicularpain (LRP > 6
Back pain and radicularpain after lumbar microdiscectomy. It is generally expected that lumbar microdiscectomy affects radicular leg pain, but not so much local back pain. The primary objective was to evaluate if the trajectories of changes in pain severity follow similar patterns for back and radicular leg pain after lumbar microdiscectomy. The secondary objective was to investigate
