简要总结
Lumbar Transforaminal Epidural Injection is helpful for the treatment of lumbosacral radicular pain.
Tunnel view technique is the basis of X-ray assisted intervention. In this technique, it is necessary to handle the block needle in order to adjust the direction of needle to the tunnel view toward target. If a mirror is used during needle handling, overall procedure time and radiation exposure can be reduced.
详细描述
- A planned Fluoroscopically Guided Lumbar Transforaminal Epidural Injection should be performed after receiving the informed consent of the patient.
- This study is single-blind because it is not possible to blind the practitioner performing the injection.
- Subjects were randomly assigned to the normal method group (group A) and the mirror use group (group B) by a random random number table, and the possibilities for belonging to any group were all the same and can not be artificially controlled by researchers.
- After the procedure, a resident who does not know of this study records the radiation exposure time displayed on the monitor and the overall procedure time
