Clinical Trial Summary

Low back pain is a common disease in all ages and it effects seriously quality of life. Medical treatment,interventional methods and surgery are the treatment options. Transforaminal epidural steroid injections (TFSI) is one of the interventional method for radiculopathy with low back pain. Michigan State University(MSU) classification is a MRI based disc herniation classification. It helps to classified disc herniation in types, places and sizes. The aim of this study to evaluate the pain and oswestry disability index in patients who have radiculopathy with low back pain, undergone TFSI according to MSU classification.

Study Design


Intervention

Procedure:
Transforaminal Epidural Steroid Injection
Epidural injections have been used since about 1900 for the treatment of low back and lower extremity pain, with steroids added to local anesthetics in about 1950. The epidural space can be entered by 3 approaches: caudal, interlaminar, and transforaminal. Transforaminal Epidural Steroid Injections: After the patient is monitored in pron position and asepsis is ensured, the epidural space is entered with the appropriate needle through the transforaminal space by giving the necessary angles to the fluoroscopy. Then the location is confirmed with radiopaque agent and steroid injection is performed. The procedure takes 15-20 minutes.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Change of the pain severity score Pain severity is assessed by using "Numeric Rating Scale" (NRS). Patients give score of their pain between 0 (no pain) and 10 (worst possible pain).
The change in NRS scores between the ten groups will be compared.
Pre-intervention, post-intervention 1th month and post-intervention 3rd month
Primary Change of the disability score Disability conditions of the patients are assessed by using "Oswestry Disability Index" (ODI). ODI is a patient completed questionnaire which gives a percentage score of disability. The ODI is comprised of 10 items and enquires about functional limitations in various activities of daily living with the index score ranging from 1 (best) to 100 (worst).
The change in ODI scores between the ten groups will be compared.
Pre-intervention, post-intervention 1th month and post-intervention 3rd month
