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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests a common pain-relieving injection for people with nerve pain in the lower back and leg caused by a pinched nerve. It aims to see how well the injection reduces pain and improves quality of life.
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 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 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.
This research study tests a steroid injection into the lower back to relieve leg pain that travels from the spine (sciatica). It could be an option if your sciatica is recent but not brand new.
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.
