A new syringe for epidural pain relief procedures
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests a new syringe device that helps doctors locate the epidural space during pain-relief procedures like epidural injections. The goal is to see if the new syringe works as well as the standard one, potentially making the procedure easier and safer.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years old or older.
- You are scheduled for a pain management procedure that involves placing a needle near the spinal cord (an epidural).
- The procedure can be done with either a standard syringe or the new study syringe, which helps doctors find the right spot.
- You must be able to give written consent yourself and follow up about a week later.
- If you take blood-thinning medications, your doctor must confirm that it's safe to proceed.
