Epidural Injection of Corticosteroids Under USG (EICUS)

Status Withdrawn

Clinical Trial Summary

Qualitative and quantitatively evaluate the pain control and incidence of adverse effects in patients undergoing corticosteroid infiltration and local anesthetic through sacral epidural puncture with ultrasound assistance or isolated use of fluoroscopy to aid puncture and location of the sacral epidural space. A group will be submitted to epidural corticosteroid infiltration associated with local anesthetic with the use of fluoroscopy for locating the sacral epidural space, which is currently the gold standard for this technique, while in another location group will be held with the use of ultrasound.

Clinical Trial Description

Introduction: Procedures guided by ultrasound (USG) have advantages over traditional techniques (fluoroscopy) with respect to regional anesthesia. Some studies have shown its usefulness as a quick, safe and simple tool for the location of the sacral hiatus and to guide the puncture of the sacral epidural space in patients with chronic low back pain, despite the lack of data with respect to clinical outcomes. OBJECTIVES: Evaluate qualitatively and quantitatively the pain control and incidence of adverse effects in patients undergoing corticosteroid infiltration and local anesthetic through sacral epidural puncture with ultrasound assistance or isolated use of fluoroscopy to aid puncture and location of the sacral epidural space. It will also be evaluated success rate in the first puncture, and the time duration of the procedure in groups. METHODS: It is clinical, analytical, prospective trial, randomized, covered for evaluators. It will include 30 patients with chronic low back pain or pain in the lower limbs resulting in lumbar canal stenosis, refractory to medical treatment. A group will be submitted to epidural corticosteroid infiltration associated with local anesthetic with the use of fluoroscopy for locating the sacral epidural space, which is currently the gold standard for this technique, while in another location group will be held with the use of ultrasound. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
