Pain relief after steroid injection for herniated disc
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system, Pain clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 study is testing how well and how safely steroid injections work for different types of back pain. If you join, you'll receive the injection as part of your care and fill out surveys about your pain and ability to do daily activities before and after.
This study compares two treatments for a herniated disc in the lower back: laser treatment alone, or laser treatment plus a steroid injection around the nerve. It aims to see if adding the injection improves pain and function more than laser alone.
