A Phase 4 interventional study of 40 mg Triamcinolone acetate 1 cc and Placebos in Lumbar Disc Herniation, sponsored by Ramathibodi Hospital. Completed. Open to participants aged 20 Years to 45 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2017-09-06.
Sponsored by Ramathibodi Hospital · Phase 4, Interventional, and Treatment
The endoscopic discectomy has rapidly developed and increased need by patients. This procedure is widely performed by interventional pain physicians as well as by spine surgeons because it requires no general anesthesia or admission to a hospital. Many studies were reported that corticosteroid injection can inhibit persistent postoperative pain in lumbar discectomy. However, data of perioperative epidural steroids after an endoscopic discectomy is lacking.
To examine whether corticosteroid administered epidural space in patients undergoing endoscopic lumbar discectomy reduces postoperative morphine consumption, back and leg pain relief, improves functional disability comparing to placebo
