Comparison of the Efficacy Between Transforaminal Steroid Epidural Injection and Epidural Neuroplasty for the Treatment of Herniated Lumbar Disc：A Single Center, Controlled Clinical Trial
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Mechanical epidural neuroplasty, Transforaminal epidural compound betamethasone injection, and 2 other interventions for Herniated Lumbar Disc. Completed, enrolled 92 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine whether epidural neuroplasty has better efficacy than epidural steroid injection for the treatment of lumbar disc herniation.
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
Guided by X-ray transillumination,an epidural needle will be inserted through sacral hiatus. A catheter （BS epidural catheter, BioSpine Co., Ltd, Korea） will be inserted through the epidural needle to the epidural space where disc herniation locates, mechanical adhesiolysis will be implemented.
Guided by X-ray transillumination, A puncture needle will be inserted to the intervertebral foramen in the vicinity of affected nerve root, and steroid injectant consists of 1 ml of Compound Betamethasone Injection (Diprospan®, Schering-Plough Labo N.V., Belgium) and 4ml of 0.2% lidocaine will be injected.
steroid injectant consists of 1 ml of Compound Betamethasone Injection (Diprospan® Schering-Plough Labo N.V., Belgium) and 4ml of 0.2% lidocaine will be injected through the epidural catheter after mechanical epidural neuroplasty.
Hyaluronidase of 1500 IU （Sine®, SPH NO.1 Biochemical and Pharmaceutical Co., LTD）will be injected through the epidural catheter after mechanical epidural neuroplasty and caudal epidural compound betamethasone injection.
