Somatosensory Profiling in Radicular Pain Patients And it's Correlation With Treatment Outcome
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Quantitative Sensory Testing (QST) and Epidural Steroid Injection (ESI) for Radiculopathy and Lower Extremity Radicular Pain. Completed, enrolled 23 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The investigators hypothesize that there may exist different quantitative sensory profiles between radicular pain patients who respond and those who do not respond to the standard therapy of epidural steroid injections (ESI).
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
Subjects will undergo hot and cold temperature testing using the QST device at two points: 1) Before ESI and 2) after ESI.
Subjects will receive an ESI by their clinical physician as part of their clinical treatment. This procedure is not given as part of the research study.
