Clinical Trial Description

This is a randomized controlled trial seeking to evaluate the impact of intra-operative topical epidural steroid usage in patients undergoing 1- to 2- level lumbar laminectomies. Subjects enrolled in this study will be randomized to one of two treatments: either 40 mg Depo-Medrol or 1 mL of sterile normal saline will be applied to the surgical wound prior to closure.
