Epidural steroid injection for leg and back pain
Part of Brain & nervous system, Pain clinical trials.
This study is testing a treatment that involves an injection to reduce nerve-related leg and back pain. It looks at how much information about the procedure affects a patient's outlook and pain relief.

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 trial tests a new medicine called C-1101, given as a shot into the spine, to see if it safely reduces pain from chronic sciatica. It is for people who have not gotten enough relief from standard treatments.
This study tests whether a steroid injection into the space around the spinal cord (epidural space) can relieve leg pain caused by a pinched nerve, a condition called sciatica. If the injection works, it may help reduce your pain without surgery.
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 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 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.
