简要总结
To determine the expected pain response timeline for patients receiving epidural steroid injections, our team plans to assess patient pain severity and degree of pain relief every 3 days for 23 days.
详细描述
Patients who are already planning to receive an epidural steroid injection from their physiatrist will be approached by study members on the day of their injection. If enrolled, the patients will be contacted every 3 days for 23 days to determine the severity of pain and degree of pain relief from the injection.

入选标准
- •Any patient schedule for an epidural steroid injection (ESI) at Stallworth Rehabilitation Hospital through the department of Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation.
- •The epidural steroid injection will be performed as part of standard clinical care, this study only aims to describe the clinical response to the procedure.
排除标准
- •ESI has been performed within the last 6 months
- •Steroid injection elsewhere in body within last 8 weeks
- •Oral or intramuscular steroids within last 8 weeks
- •Unwilling or unable to provide informed consent

结局指标
主要结局
Change in Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS)
时间窗: post-procedure day 22 (+/- 1 day)
The NPRS measures pain intensity. Range 0 to 10, with 0 representing "no pain" and 10 representing the worst possible pain. This metric outcome will be the numerical difference between the pre-procedure NPRS score and the NPRS score as measured on post-procedure day 22 (+/- 1 day)
次要结局
- Global Rating of Change(Every 3 days for up to 23 days)
