Predicting whether a sciatica procedure will work
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study looks for ways to predict how well a specific sciatica procedure (TEI) will help. If you have one-sided nerve pain from the low back, the trial may help personalize treatment so you’re less likely to go through ineffective care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have one-sided sciatica from a slipped disc (LDH) or one-level spinal narrowing
- An MRI must support your diagnosis
- You have an upcoming scheduled appointment for the TEI procedure
- You are 18 years or older and can sign consent
- You can use email for study communication

This study is testing whether changes in pain after a steroid injection into the spine can predict how well the treatment works. You may be eligible if you have a slipped disc in your lower back that causes at least moderate pain, and other treatments haven't helped enough.
This trial uses artificial intelligence (AI) to predict how well patients with sciatica will respond to a specific type of steroid injection around the nerves in the lower back. The goal is to find which patients are most likely to benefit from the procedure.
This trial looks at what factors help predict whether a steroid injection into the spine (transforaminal epidural injection) will work for leg pain caused by a herniated disc. It aims to help doctors choose the best treatment for patients like you.
This study compares two treatments for long-lasting low back and leg pain caused by a herniated disc: high-intensity laser therapy and a steroid shot near the spine. Researchers want to see which option works better to reduce pain.
This trial compares two methods of delivering steroid injections into the space around your spinal cord to relieve pain from lumbar spinal stenosis (narrowing of the spine). It tests whether a newer hybrid approach works as well as or better than the standard fluoroscopy (X-ray) method.
This trial tests if a type of radiofrequency treatment (TECAR therapy) can reduce pain and improve function and quality of life for people with low back pain caused by a herniated disc. It involves an exercise program along with the treatment.
