Dispersal Pattern of Injectate After Cervical Epidural Steroid Evaluated With Magnetic Resonance Imaging
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Injection with Gadolinium for Cervical Radiculopathy. Completed, enrolled 20 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
This study will analyze injectate dispersal patterns after standard-of-care cervical epidural steroid injections using gadolinium as a marker and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to characterize the pattern. Although these procedures are performed with high frequency under the assumption that injectate remains localized to injection site, no peer-reviewed studies have validated this assumption. Comprehensive characterization of injectate dispersal patterns will provide important data regarding safety, as well as diagnostic and therapeutic potential of cervical epidural steroid injections.

Interventions
Gadavist (gadobutrol) injection is a gadolinium-based contrast agent indicated for intravenous use in diagnostic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in adults and children (2 years of age and older) to detect and visualize areas with disrupted blood brain barrier (BBB) and/or abnormal vascularity of the central nervous system
