Comparison of Cervical Transforaminal Epidural Corticosteroid Injections With Lateralized Interlaminar Epidural Corticosteroid Injections for Treatment of Cervicogenic Upper Extremity Radiculopathy
In Brief
A Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating dexamethasone for Cervicogenic Upper Extremity Radiculopathy. Completed, enrolled 74 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of this study is to compare two methods of giving epidural steroid injections for nerve pain in the arm that comes from the neck. An epidural steroid injection can be given in two different ways, either in the back of the spine within the neck or in the neck next to the nerve root going to the arm. Both are standard medical treatments. The investigators would like to see how effective these treatments are, and if there are any differences in effectiveness or safety between these two routes.
