Pain Clinical Trial
Official title:

Study type | Interventional |
The aim of the study was to quantify the difference between a 22-gauge needle and 25-gauge needle during lumbosacral epidural steroid injection in regards to intravascular uptake and pain perception. There is the notion that a smaller gauge needle may lead to less intravascular uptake and less pain.

Primary | Intravascular Uptake | The intravascular uptake percentage reported in the study is the percent of 'needles' that showed intravascular uptake. Hence higher 'intravascular uptake percentage' means worse outcome. The mean percentages were averaged across participants were compared between treatment arms. Presence or absence of intravascular uptake during live fluoroscopy and/or blood aspiration per needle. Once needle reached its target (epidural space), contrast was injected to confirm the presence or absence of intravascular uptake via live fluoroscopy or aspiration was attempted using a syringe to confirm the presence or absence of intravascular uptake. If contrast pattern suggested needle was in a vessel or blood was aspirated using a syringe, outcome measure was marked 'PRESENT'. If contrast pattern suggested needle was not in a vessel and no blood was aspirated using a syringe, outcome measure was marked 'ABSENT'. In other words, primary outcome measure was binary in nature. |

Secondary | Patient Reported Pain | Patient reported pain during the procedure (on initial needle entry) on the numerical rating scale (NRS 1-10). Higher numbers implies higher severity of pain. Lower numbers implies lower severity of pain | During the procedure |
