Ultrasound-guided nerve block for sciatica pain
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system, Pain clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests a new way to numb the sciatic nerve for surgeries below the knee, like fixing ankle breaks or correcting toe deformities. It aims to see if it's safe and works well.
This study tests whether a single injection of a numbing medicine (ropivacaine) into the muscles of the lower back can quickly relieve sudden, severe back pain that has lasted less than a week. The goal is to see if this nerve block can help when standard pain pills aren't working.
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 study tests whether a specific back/nerve pain injection (an epidural injection) can help people with acute sciatica. You may qualify if your sciatica started a few weeks ago and your leg pain is still quite severe.
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.
This trial tests a procedure called a lumbar sympathetic block (a numbing injection around nerves in your lower back) guided by a special heat-sensing camera. It aims to improve blood flow and reduce severe leg pain caused by chronic limb-threatening ischemia.
