A Clinical Comparison in Cervical Epidural Pressure Changes Between Midline and Paramedian Approaches

NCT01360138 · Status: UNKNOWN · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 25

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Ligamentum flavum in the cervical region is thin or not fused at the midline. The investigators inferred that the size and elasticity of the ligamentum flavum, in combination with mildline appraoch, the gaps could be responsible for a failure to recognize a LOR in some patients. If so, the investigators hypothesized that the paramedian approach would be advantageous for finding cervical epidural space more easily during cervical epidural steroid injections (CESIs).

Conditions
