Differential Rates of Intravascular Uptake and Pain Perception During Lumbosacral Transforaminal Epidural Steroid Injection Using a 22-gauge Needle Versus 25-gauge Needle
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating 22-gauge needle and 25-gauge needle for Pain and Needle Injury. Completed, enrolled 162 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The aim of the study was to quantify the difference between a 22-gauge needle and 25-gauge needle during lumbosacral epidural steroid injection in regards to intravascular uptake and pain perception. There is the notion that a smaller gauge needle may lead to less intravascular uptake and less pain.
