Testing a new syringe for epidural pain procedures
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests a new device called the EpiFaith syringe, used during epidural pain management procedures. It compares the new syringe to the standard one to see if it helps doctors find the right spot more easily.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You are scheduled for a pain management procedure that involves finding the epidural space using a loss-of-resistance syringe.
- Your procedure can be in the neck, upper back, lower back, or tailbone, or it can be a minimally invasive lumbar decompression or spinal cord stimulator trial.
- You are willing to sign a consent form and follow up with the study team for about 1 week after the procedure.
- If you take blood thinners, your doctor has confirmed it is safe for you to have the epidural procedure.
- You do not have any condition that would make the procedure unsafe, like an active infection or bleeding problem.

This study tests a new type of spinal cord stimulator (a device that sends gentle electrical pulses to your spine to block pain signals) for people with chronic pain in their back, chest, or arms or legs. The goal is to see how well it works in real-life settings.
This study is testing a new device called EPIONE that helps doctors perform CT-guided needle procedures in the spine or pelvis. It aims to see if the device improves accuracy and safety for patients under general anesthesia.
This study is looking at how people with chronic low back pain respond to spinal cord stimulation (a device that sends gentle electrical pulses to the spine to reduce pain). If you already have a spinal cord stimulator, you may help researchers understand how well it works and how it affects your brain.
This study looks at how anesthesiology residents learn to place epidurals. It may help understand the best way to teach this skill to doctors who are just starting out.
This trial tests whether the CompuFlo device can help doctors find the right spot in the thoracic (upper) epidural space. It may make epidural placement more accurate during certain planned abdominal surgeries in the belly/upper back area.
This study tests whether a different way of injecting numbing medicine before placing an epidural can help the epidural catheter go in more smoothly for women in labor. If you are requesting an epidural for pain relief, are between 18 and 40, have a single baby in a head-down position, and are in active labor, you may be able to join.
