Summary

The investigators hypothesize that there may exist different quantitative sensory profiles between radicular pain patients who respond and those who do not respond to the standard therapy of epidural steroid injections (ESI).

Conditions

  • Radiculopathy
  • Lower Extremity Radicular Pain

Interventions

DEVICE

Quantitative Sensory Testing (QST)

Subjects will undergo hot and cold temperature testing using the QST device at two points: 1) Before ESI and 2) after ESI.

PROCEDURE

Epidural Steroid Injection (ESI)

Subjects will receive an ESI by their clinical physician as part of their clinical treatment. This procedure is not given as part of the research study.
