Lumbar Radiculopathy Due to Spinal Nerve Compression Clinical Trial
Official title:
The Effects of Use of Mirror Image on Radiation Exposure During Fluoroscopically Guided Transforaminal Epidural Injection
Lumbar Transforaminal Epidural Injection is helpful for the treatment of lumbosacral
radicular pain.
Tunnel view technique is the basis of X-ray assisted intervention. In this technique, it is
necessary to handle the block needle in order to adjust the direction of needle to the tunnel
view toward target. If a mirror is used during needle handling, overall procedure time and
radiation exposure can be reduced.
1. A planned Fluoroscopically Guided Lumbar Transforaminal Epidural Injection should be
performed after receiving the informed consent of the patient.
2. This study is single-blind because it is not possible to blind the practitioner
performing the injection.
3. Subjects were randomly assigned to the normal method group (group A) and the mirror use
group (group B) by a random random number table, and the possibilities for belonging to
any group were all the same and can not be artificially controlled by researchers.
4. After the procedure, a resident who does not know of this study records the radiation
exposure time displayed on the monitor and the overall procedure time
