GroupInterventionDescription
Atelocollagen group(atelocollagen group)After obtaining informed consent for the study, epidural nerve block was performed. The patient is asked to return to the outpatient clinic of the pain center after 2 weeks. At this time, when the NRS of back pain does not improve by more than 50% compared to before the epidural nerve block and the cross-sectional area of the multifidus muscle using ultrasound is 5 cm2 or less, final enrollment is decided. The evaluation of the cross-sectional area and thickness of the multifidus muscle using ultrasound is performed with the patient prone, and the cross-sectional area of the multifidus muscle is measured at the same position as the level of the lesion on MRI.
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
cross-sectional area of the multifidus muscle28 days after atelocollagen injection

Changes in the cross-sectional area of the multifidus muscle at the 4th week of the intervention compared to before the intervention (measured value using ultrasound at outpatient).

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
numeric rating score28 days after atelocollagen injection

numeric rating score, Score range from 0 to 100. Higher scores mean a worst outcome.

oswestry disability index28 days after atelocollagen injection

oswestry disability index, Score range from 0 to 50. Higher scores mean a worst outcome.
