简要总结
To evaluate the effectiveness of steroids and/or 10% hypertonic sodium chloride in percutaneous adhesiolysis in managing chronic low back and/or lower extremity pain in patients with post lumbar surgery syndrome.
To evaluate and compare the adverse event profile in all groups.
详细描述
Recruitment is indicated in patients with chronic low back pain and lower extremity pain secondary to post lumbar laminectomy syndrome, non-responsive to conservative therapy with physical therapy, chiropractic, medical therapy, and fluoroscopically directed epidural injections.
This is a single-center, prospective, randomized, double-blind, equivalence, controlled trial performed in an interventional pain management referral center in the United States.
The study involves 240 patients studied in 4 groups with 60 patients in each group. Randomization includes sequence generation, allocation concealment, implementation, and blinding.
Data management analysis includes sample size justification of 40 patients in each group with a power of 80% and a 0.05% 2-sided significance level. Statistical methodology includes chi-squared statistics, Fisher's exact test, t-test, and paired t-test with significance evaluated at P value < 0.05.
