Precision treatment for lumbar nerve pain with targeted block
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This trial tests if a targeted nerve root injection can improve outcomes for people with persistent leg pain from a compressed nerve in the lower back, with the goal of tailoring surgery more precisely.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- An MRI or CT scan shows that a nerve root in your lower back is compressed
- You have not had previous back surgery

This trial tests whether a targeted nerve-numbing injection (placed near the compressed nerve root in your lower back) can help doctors confirm which nerve is causing your sciatica pain before surgery. This may help your surgeon plan the best approach and improve your outcome.
This trial tests a new type of treatment (high-voltage pulsed radiofrequency) that uses a special needle to deliver energy to the nerve root in your lower back. The goal is to see if it can reduce chronic leg pain caused by a pinched or irritated nerve.
This study compares two needle-based techniques to treat long-lasting low back pain by stopping overactive pain signals from specific back joints. If you’ve already tried physical therapy and pain medicines without enough relief, this trial may test which technique works better for pain reduction.
This trial compares two imaging methods—ultrasound and fluoroscopy (X-ray)—to guide nerve injections for leg pain caused by compressed nerves in the lower back. The goal is to see which method is safer and more effective at relieving your pain.
This study tests if a nerve block given before surgery can reduce pain and the need for strong painkillers after lower back surgery. You may be eligible if you are having planned, non-emergency lower back surgery and have no major heart, liver, or kidney problems.
This trial tests if an ultrasound-guided nerve block can provide better pain relief for sciatica compared to standard care. If you have severe leg pain from sciatica, this study might help you find effective pain control.
