Utility of Intramuscular Corticosteroids for Radicular Low Back Pain
In Brief
A Phase 3 clinical trial evaluating Intramuscular methylprednisolone acetate and Placebo for Radicular Low Back Pain. Completed, enrolled 82 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Low back pain is a common symptom that functionally disables many people. When the low back pain is accompanied by pain that shoots down the leg, it is felt to be caused by a herniated disc. We are conducting this study to determine if a powerful anti-inflammatory agent will decrease the pain and functional impairment that is associated with this illness.
