Failed Back Surgery Syndrome Clinical Trial

Official title:
Prospective Comparison Between Epiduroscopy Procedure, Racz Catheter Procedure and Caudal Epidural Block in Patients With FBSS

Clinical Trial Summary

Prospective comparison between epiduroscopy procedure, Racz catheter procedure and caudal epidural block in patients with FBSS

Clinical Trial Description

I. Epiduroscopy is an advanced proven diagnostic and therapeutic method for chronic radicular pain after spinal surgery. Moreover, this method is frequently used in patients with chronic low back pain conditions without previous spine surgery also known as "virgin back". Epiduroscopy allows by optical fiber technology and skiascopy imaging the exact examination of the epidural space and subsequently mechanical lysis (with advanced interventional options by laser, radiofrequency, balloon techniques etc.) and/or drug administration to the target point. II. The Racz catheter procedure is based on epidural neurolysis. It is used to release some of the adhesions or scar tissue which surround entrapped nerves in the epidural space of the spine. This state could be caused by chronic inflammatory adhesions or by healing mechanisms after spine surgery - scars. Mechanical liberation of epidural space further allows better administration and targeting of drugs as corticoids or hyaluronidase. This technique is performed under fluoroscopy imaging. Suitable epidurogram and skiascopy confirm appropriate catheter position during procedure. III. The caudal epidural block involves placing a needle through the sacral hiatus to deliver medications into the epidural space. This approach to the epidural space is popular in managing a wide variety of chronic pain conditions in adults, especially chronic low back pain syndromes. Fluoroscopy is considered as a gold standard of needle guidance during procedures in which caudal epidural injections are performed. ;
