Lumbar Radiculopathy Due to Spinal Nerve Compression Clinical Trial
Official title:
The Effect of Local Anesthetic Injection Depth on Procedural Pain and Discomfort During Fluoroscopically Guided Lumbar Transforaminal Epidural Injections
Lumbar Transforaminal Epidural Injection is helpful for the treatment of lumbosacral radicular pain. But needle handling during the procedure may cause pain and discomfort to the patient. At the local skin anesthesia step, local anesthetics injection to the muscle layer along the needle pathway as well as the subcutaneous layer may reduce the procedural pain. In addition, it can reduce the injection site pain that may occur after the procedure.
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 subcutaneous anesthesia group (group A) and the
muscle anesthesia 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 patient's
pain and discomfort. and on follow-up visits, post injection site pain is checked.
5. Because of the large difference between the skilled and unskilled patients, the
procedure in this study is performed by only one skilled practitioner
