Steroid injections for S1 nerve root pain
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial compares two types of steroid injections to treat leg pain caused by a pinched nerve in the lower back. It aims to see which injection works better for pain relief.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 75 years old
- You have leg pain on one side due to a pinched nerve at the S1 level (confirmed by MRI)
- Your pain has lasted more than 6 weeks despite other treatments
- You have not had a steroid injection in your spine in the past 6 months
- You are not taking blood thinners or have a bleeding disorder

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 is testing how well and how safely steroid injections work for different types of back pain. If you join, you'll receive the injection as part of your care and fill out surveys about your pain and ability to do daily activities before and after.
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 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 different strengths of steroid injections to see which works best for nerve pain in the lower back that travels down the leg. The goal is to find the most effective dose with fewer side effects.
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.
