Epidural steroid injection for leg pain from nerve compression
Part of Brain & nervous system, Pain clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have been diagnosed with a pinched nerve in your lower back (lumbosacral radiculopathy) based on an MRI and doctor's exam.
- You have nerve pain symptoms like shooting or burning leg pain.
- You are scheduled to receive a steroid injection into your back (called a transforaminal epidural steroid injection).
- You can read and fill out questionnaires about your pain, and you agree to attend follow-up visits.
- You do not have any of the exclusions listed, such as prior back surgery, pregnancy, or bleeding problems.

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 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 looks at how pain relief from a targeted steroid injection in the lower back changes over time, and whether early pain changes can predict long-term success. It may help doctors better plan treatments for people with herniated discs.
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 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.
