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 looks at how pain relief from a targeted steroid injection in the lower back changes over time, and whether early pain changes can predict long-term success. It may help doctors better plan treatments for people with herniated discs.
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 uses artificial intelligence to predict how well a patient with sciatica will respond to a steroid injection in the spine. It aims to help doctors personalize treatment and improve outcomes for people with nerve-related back and leg pain.
This study tests three different ways to give a steroid injection near the spine to treat leg pain caused by a herniated disc. It may help you avoid surgery by reducing pain and improving function.
This study tests a type of physiotherapy called TECAR (a kind of heat therapy) to see if it helps reduce sciatic pain caused by a disc problem. If you've had this pain for more than 3 months, this treatment might offer relief without surgery.
This study compares two ways of giving a steroid injection into the lower back to relieve pain from lumbar spinal stenosis (a condition where the spinal canal narrows and presses on nerves). It may help you if you've tried other treatments without relief and you're experiencing leg pain when walking.
