A Randomized Trial of CT-guided Perineural Injection With a Corticosteroid Plus a Long Acting Local Anesthetic Versus Standard Medical Management in Patients With Acute Lumbar Radiculopathy and a Corresponding Disc Herniation
Herniated disc sometimes cause back pain radiating down to a leg. This pain can be so severe
that it is functionally disabling. The purpose of this randomized clinical trial is to
determine if corticosteroid medication, delivered directly to the area near the herniated
disc, can improve the pain and functional disability associated with a herniated disc.
