CT signs of nerve irritation in sciatica
Part of Brain & nervous system, Pain clinical trials.
This study looks at three specific signs on a CT scan that may show nerve-root irritation in people with sciatica. It only includes patients who are already scheduled for a CT-guided nerve injection to treat their pain.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You have sciatica (pain that shoots down one leg) that follows a clear nerve path.
- Your doctor has scheduled a CT-guided steroid injection around a spinal nerve to treat your pain.
- Your pain is not due to a tumor, infection, or recent injury.
- You have a scan (planning CT) from before the injection that can be reviewed.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 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 a new imaging tool called Nociscan to see if it helps doctors decide who will benefit from lumbar spine surgery for low back pain. It may help predict surgical outcomes and guide treatment.
This study uses artificial intelligence to predict how well a patient with sciatica will respond to a steroid injection in the spine. It aims to help doctors personalize treatment and improve outcomes for people with nerve-related back and leg pain.
This study tests whether a radiology consultation before a CT-guided spine injection helps patients with back or neck pain. If you have moderate to severe pain and are scheduled for this procedure, you may be eligible.
This study looks for ways to predict how well a specific sciatica procedure (TEI) will help. If you have one-sided nerve pain from the low back, the trial may help personalize treatment so you’re less likely to go through ineffective care.
