Clinical Trial Summary

To evaluate the effect of cervical interlaminar epidural steroid injections on the neuropathic pain, quality of life and disability patients with cervical radiculopathy. After the clinical and MRG evaluations of patients with neck and arm pain, injection was given to eligible patients.

Patients undergone the procedure were evaluated before and after injection for neuropathic pain, quality of life and disability.


Clinical Trial Description

Neck and arm pain related to cervical radiculopathy is the second indication for epidural steroid injections after lumbar radiculopathy in the many a pain clinic. In this procedure corticosteroids and local anesthetics were given to the epidural space with fluoroscopy-guided special techniques. The underlying mechanism of action of these epidurally administered medications is not clear and ıt is believed to be due to anti-inflammatory properties of corticosteroids. In addition local anesthetics is thought to be as effective as corticosteroids in spinal pain of various origin. So far, many studies have shown the efficacy of these injections in acute/chronic pain of cervical radiculopathy. Although mixed pain is seen in most of patients, the relationship between pain pattern and treatment response is unclear. This study aims to evaluate the treatment responses of the patients who were diagnosed with neuropathic pain and the patients who weren't by means of LANSS. It is also intended to serach whether the presence of neuropathic pain will help to predict the treatment response or not. In this regard, the patients were evaluated with LANSS, SF-12 and neck pain and disability scale before the procedure. Categorized as the patients with neuropathic pain and the patients without, their treatment responses were compared. ;
