Study of Cells From Spinal Cavity of Patients With Low Back Pain

NCT01089491 · Status: WITHDRAWN · Type: OBSERVATIONAL

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The purpose of this study to determine if cells collected give us information about what is causing a patient pain can be detected and connected with epiduroscopy images (pictures taken with a small fiber optic scope). We want to determine if abnormal areas are the source of that pain by using a catheter to provide a brief, low intensity electrical stimulation. We also want to determine if there are cells in the epidural cavity (area surrounding the spinal cord) of patients who have low back pain with or without pain shooting down one or both legs that provide information about what is causing the pain.
