AI-assisted epidural steroid injection planning for lumbar back pain
This study uses artificial intelligence to help doctors find the best X-ray angles for epidural steroid injections in the lower back. If you're scheduled for this injection, the AI may make the procedure more precise and potentially more effective.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 75 years old.
- You are scheduled for an epidural steroid injection in the lower back for leg or back pain caused by nerve irritation.
- You have had an MRI of your lower back within the last 6 months.
- You have not had surgery on the part of your spine being treated.
- You do not have severe scoliosis or other major spinal deformities.

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 looks at back and leg pain relief from a steroid injection given near the spinal nerves. It checks if MRI images can help predict whether the injection is harder to do, which could help doctors plan better.
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.
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 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 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.
